Description Theofilos Intzoglou 2003-07-18 03:03:34 UTC

fluxbox ebuild fails to compile on a newly installed system with an error that
it cannot find pkg-config. Maybe it should be a dependency for this ebuild
except if it is only needed in the ebuild.

It already depends on pkgconfig. Could you please say what "emerge -ep fluxbox" tells on your system? The "emerge info" output would also be nice.

Sorry for answearing so late but I had some problems with my network connection... The error about pkgconfig showed up on a system of a friend's that I helped him install gentoo. On my system 'emerge -ep fluxbox' does show pkgconfig as a dependency however when I run emerge fluxbox on that newly installed system it gave me 'pkgconfig command not found' error. I checked in the ebuild and I didn't see any DEPEND in it so that's why I wrote this bug report.

0.1.14-r1 inherits the commonbox eclass which should really get pkg-config.
At least since  2003/02/09 13:54:33 :-)

Could you provide the requested information from your friend's system?

  I really cannot understand why we got that error message :-/ Maybe an old version of portage or something? If noone else has had that error you may close the bug report.

Perhaps we are not expected to understand this...
