Bug 124329 – dev-libs/confuse on a clean install misses pkg-config files

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2006-02-27 16:53:06 UTC]

I use confuse in unieject to access the configuration file, and to do that i load the data from pkg-config file. On a "clean" system, where pkg-config is still missing, confuse by default installs only confuse-config program and not the .pc file, leading to a break in unieject when it's emerged later.

Either confuse should depend on pkg-config or --enable-pkgconfig should be passed to the econf call.
In either case, if confuse-config is needed, probably it's better to install it anyway as when enabling pkg-config, that is skipped.

Thanks,
Diego

Bug confirmed, I can obtain the same behaviour just unmerging pkgconfig and emerging confuse. Is there any pkg depending on the presence of confuse-config?

unieject uses pkgconfig only.
tilda uses confuse.h only
ziproxy-1.5.2 uses confuse-config only.
Maybe it's better depend on pkgconfig and doins confuse-config.

Should be fixed now in cvs. Added dependency on pkgconfig, doins confuse-config for compatibility with other packages that still depends on it. Updating ebuild header.
