pkg-config is only used in the configure script to detect system's GLIB (will not be detected if pkg-config isn't found). Though GLIB is in fact optional for this package (because it has an internal version with just the code it needs), we say in the ebuild it's a dependency (I suppose, to avoid GLIB code redundancy), so we pass --with-glib at configure time (unneeded, because it's already the default option). The thing is, in this version, the internal GLIB code doesn't compile (it does under 0.4.0, at least), as I'll show in a new transcript where you'll be able to see where the error is. So if you don't have dev-util/pkgconfig installed, then it won't be able to find system's GLIB, and will try to use the internal version instead and therefore it will fail. I think we shouldn't use that redundant GLIB internal code anyway, so that code doesn't need any modification. Then my proposed solution is to add a build time dependency against dev-util/pkgconfig
This is the transcript that shows clearly where the problem is located: [...] *** A new enough version of pkg-config was not found. *** See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/ [...] configure: WARNING: glib not found - using internal replacement [...] Making all in myglib make[2]: se ingresa al directorio `/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/libspectrum-0.2.2-r1/work/libspectrum-0.2.2/myglib' /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=compile x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/include -march=athlon64 -O2 -msse3 -fomit-frame-pointer -finline-functions -Wall -c ghash.c mkdir .libs x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/include -march=athlon64 -O2 -msse3 -fomit-frame-pointer -finline-functions -Wall -c ghash.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/ghash.o ghash.c:49: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'gpointer' ghash.c:57: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'GHashFunc' ghash.c:63: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before '*' token ghash.c: In function 'g_hash_nodes_destroy': ghash.c:96: error: 'GHashNode' has no member named 'next' [...]
Created attachment 144398 [details, diff] Proposed solution (patch). Proposed patch to add pkg-config dependency to the ebuild.
Many thanks Jose, in cvs.
