Description basic 2004-09-04 04:54:01 UTC

cairo ebuild overrides PKG_CONFIG_PATH, this means that if one has glitz or xcb (X C Bindings not X Cut Buffers) installed under say, /usr/local , it will never find it as PKG_CONFIG_PATH gets overridden. A fix for this should be something along the lines of changing this line in the ebuild:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=${FILESDIR} econf || die

to

PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${FILESDIR}:${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}" econf || die


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig emerge cairo
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
glitz or xcb not detected

Expected Results:  
glitz or xcb detected

cairo isn't ours.

Thanks, fixed in CVS like this:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=${PKG_CONFIG_PATH+$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:}${FILESDIR} econf || die
