Bug 497894 – media-libs/imlib2-1.4.{5,6} - imlib2-config contains @my_libs@ which configure doesn't expand

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Emile 2014-01-12 14:22:12 UTC]

Well, it just doesn't compile. And I heard one of my friends is having this problem so it's not just me, I think.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge scrot

imlib2-config contains un-expanded @my_libs@

Is there a fix, then?
I tried adding Jimmy's patch, but it didn't help

imlib2-config contains un-expanded @my_libs@

not sure wtf you're talking about wrt gnu

maybe take it as a sign that using imlib2-config is a bad idea and you should switch to `pkg-config --libs imlib2`

While I agree in general with the comment, the broken imlib2-config breaks too many downstream packages (such as scrot through its dependency on giblib). Debian has fixed it (https://www.mail-archive.com/[e-mail]/msg1183078.html) and BLFS also just seds @my_libs@ out (http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/changeset/12484). Please commit this simple fix.

i'm not sure that description really fits.  1.4.5 has been in the tree since Feb 2012 and stable since Sep 2012 and this is the first bug report in Gentoo about it.

clearly it's not really used commonly anymore if it takes 2 years for someone to notice it.

i've fixed this upstream:

should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report!
