Description Tommy Yu 2004-08-29 12:04:44 UTC

Without pkgconfig emerged, ./configure fails here when emerging xcompmgr

./configure: line 3949: syntax error near unexpected token `XCOMPMGR,'
./configure: line 3949: `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(XCOMPMGR, xcomposite xfixes xdamage xrender)'

pkgconfig is somehow not in the dependancy tree of xcompmgr.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge xcompmgr without pkgconfig installed.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
./configure: line 3949: syntax error near unexpected token `XCOMPMGR,'
./configure: line 3949: `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(XCOMPMGR, xcomposite xfixes xdamage
xrender)'


Expected Results:  
emerge xcompmgr should emerge pkgconfig if it is not already installed.

See link. Although instruction is for Kdrive, but it has a note about xcompmgr
also, which is:

If you're getting errors mentioning PKG_CHECK_MODULES(), install pkgconfig.

I emerged that and it worked.
