[lfs-dev] pkg-config issue

2013-11-04 Thread Pierre Labastie
Hi, If in chapter 5, some package's configure uses pkg-config to find libraries and include files, it finds pkg-config on the host (when installed), and so it finds libraries and include files on the host, thus bypassing our careful insulation of the tool chain from the host. Right now, among

Just had an intersting issue testing this for BLFS: as a user, make DESTDIR install fails, unable to update the aclocal dir. Seems to do the right thing (i.e. update the DESTDIR) when run as root, but people using package management might need to know this. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, da

I am of the opinion that we should re-introduce pkg-config into LFS. I think it would make things simplier for both LFS and BLFS. pkg-config would make building kmod, libpipeline, man-db, and udev/systemd all easier in LFS. In addition, there are numerous packages in BLFS that mention pkg-conf

Hello... Seeing that some packages in LFS require pkg-config to build, I wrote a bash script that implements most of pkg-config's functionality, in order to avoid setting the flags manually for each package that needs it. I put it in /tools/bin and did a full build of LFS, with a few packages fro

Hello, an email from Bruce to BLFS Support set me thinking about the how to get pkg-config back into LFS. Obviously puting glib et al back in LFS is a non starter and I quite like the idea of pkg-config using the glib functions, it makes sense to use shared libraries where we can. So that led me t
