Bug 12056 – gtk+-1.2

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2002-12-12 17:47:14 UTC]

The gtk+ 1.2 ebuild needs to ln -s /usr/bin/gtk-config /usr/bin/gtk12-config
because a couple of programs I've been installing I've noticed look for
gtk12-config instead of gtk-config.

like what programs, anything in portage ?

There was a patch for lame to "fix" this:
gtk12-config is a workaround for distributions that dont have versions in their
package-manager, or who's users firmly believe that the version-number is part
of the package name.. * cough cough *

We shouldnt have to incorporate it since it isn't necessary, it is imo. better
to patch the borked packages and submit those patches upstream with a pleasant
note that there is no gtk12-config from gtk+-1.2 packages, and that it is
gtk-config .


Marking this as invalid

Well lame still looks for gtk12-config so it's not patched in Portage. Might
wanna make that patch.

Hmm something odd, i have lame too and i don't have gtk12-config. It must be
something local triggering it.
