For your information, even the CVS version of glib (head branch) includes two macro files glib-2.0.m4 (which is a wrapper around pkgconfig) and glib-gettext.m4. Macro files are not dead and not obsoleted by pkgconfig. Consider that the latest version is 0.12.0. Consider that it's not widely used. Consider that pkgconfig is implemented in C, so you cannot distribute it in tarballs like libtool or install-sh. It's great that we have a pkgconfig file for alsa-lib. Let's see how well it works for ALSA. But it's too early to remove or obsolete anything else _because_ pkgconfig is supported. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: AMD - Your access to the experts on Hammer Technology!
