Bugzilla Bug 90098

GLFW is now at release 2.5.0 ( http://glfw.sf.net/ )

Unfortunatly there are a few issues that make simply copying the 2.4.2 ebuild not work.  Also note that the ebuild uses an inelegant manipulation to move glfw-2.5 to glfw-2.5.0 since the new package has its files in glfw-2.5 instead of 2.5.0 where we'd like it.  The download file is named with 2.5.0, however.  I added a fairly extensive comment to the ebuild that probably explains better.  The hack doesn't use any magic constants though, so would hopefully work with furure releases.

I left the keyword as x86 ( same as 2.4.2 ), although it might need to be ~x86 ( It worked on my machine, but that obviously means little. )  The code is supposed to work on OSX as well, but I don't have the hardware or ebuild skills to implement what's nessesary for that.  It also includes binding to other languages that I don't know what to do with.

I also replaced the hard-coded example files lists I used in the 2.4.2 ebuild with some find lines.  It's more general now, but if using find in that manner is unacceptable I can go back to the explicit method.

Reproducible: Always

New ebuild for GLFW 2.5.0

It could be really fine to add a glfw.pc in /usr/lib/pkgconfig/ in order to
help developpers using this lib.

I'm fairly sure there isn't one included, nor do I know what's involved in
creating one.

One related new thing in this version: I included the Makefile.x11 for the
example programs in the examples directory.  It's set up to include the CFLAGS
and LFLAGS, so developers can consult that.

me22gentoo ~ $ head -n 6 /usr/share/doc/glfw-2.5.0/examples/Makefile.x11
##########################################################################
# Automatically generated Makefile for GLFW
##########################################################################
CC     = gcc
CFLAGS = -I../include -I/usr/X11R6/include -O3 -ffast-math -Wall
LFLAGS = -L../lib/x11  -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lglfw -lGLU -lGL -lX11 -lXxf86vm
-lXext -lpthread -lm

If somebody could give a pointer on how to make a patch or something for the
makefile that would help make a glfw.pc, I'd be willing...

version bumped in portage.  Thanks for the bug report.
