Description Yvan Royon 2009-11-20 12:38:54 UTC

media-libs/gd does not ship a pkg-config file.
Some packages may need that to configure properly, e.g. bug #173570

The problem comes from upstream, that does not provide a gdlib.pc. It seems there is not much activity there, so I have no idea what's the best course of action.

Reproducible: Always

pkg-config file for gd

Here is a pkg-config file that "worksforme". Adpated from some other distribution, I forgot which one. There are probably issues with Gentoo Prefix, since /usr is hardcoded...

The file goes into /usr/lib/pkgconfig/.

any package that requires gd to provide a .pc is broken

The package I cited doesn't need a gdlib.pc file any more.

Feel free to close this bug (UPSTREAM or whatever, I'm not sure).
