Description Yang Zhang 2009-10-02 03:22:55 UTC

mini-xml 2.5 has a broken pkg-config file (mxml.pc, in /usr/lib/pkgconfig). When asked for the correct libs to link ('pkg-config mxml --libs'), it returns '@PHTREAD@ -lmxml', which should be '-lpthread -lmxml'.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =dev-libs/mini-xml-2.5
2. pkg-config mxml --libs
3.

Actual Results:  
@PHTREAD@ -lmxml

Expected Results:  
-lpthread -lmxml

After digging into the problem, it turns out that the mxml.pc.in shipped in the mxml-2.5.tar.gz contains a typo. The "@PHTREAD_LIBS@" in the "Libs: ..." line should be "@PTHREAD_LIBS@". This bug has been fixed in the 2.6 version. So It can be easily fixed by bumping the new version.

I have tried mini-xml-2.6 using the same ebuild as mini-xml-2.5 and it works well for my own code.
