Bug 206023 – dev-haskell/gtk2hs-0.9.12.1 missing pkg-config dep

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Evil Compile Person 2008-01-15 22:29:20 UTC]

checking for the GHC package "old-time"... yes, version 1.0.0.0
checking for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-pkg-config... no
checking for pkg-config... no
checking for GLIB... configure: error:

The development files for the glib-2.x library were not found.
Perhaps you need to install glib or glib-devel

The exact error reported by pkg-config was:
  ""

If you installed Glib or Gtk+ in a non-standard prefix then you may
need to adjust the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable.

As a last resort you may set the environment variables GLIB_CFLAGS
and GLIB_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Mmm. I guess I was assuming that we'd always have pkg-config since it's a build dep of gtk+ etc. But of course strictly we cannot rely on build deps of our build deps because you can install the build deps then clean and only retain the runtime deps.

Thanks for the report. Fixed in the haskell overlay, will make it into portage soonish.

[Comment 2 Duncan Coutts (RETIRED) 2008-01-26 20:15:00 UTC]

now fixed in portage.

[Comment 3 Duncan Coutts (RETIRED) 2008-01-26 20:16:06 UTC]

Oops, meant to mark it fixed...
