Hey guys. A while ago, pkgconfig-0.17 IIRC, the behaviour was changed
not to allow implicit dependencies. IOW, prior to 0.17, if I checked
for gtk+, glib's linker flags would also be pulled in because it depends
on glib. There was talk of reversing this new default behavior,
however, I can't find the thread (it was on an OOo patch). There was a
configure option to return it to that behaviour, again IIRC however,
there was talk of reversing that default and a link to some discussion
elsewhere. My memory is rather fuzzy and I can't seem to find this
discussion.
The reason I ask is that one of the OOo patches can be removed if
pkgconfig has been changed back to the way it was before. I can
envision a seemingly simple testcase, but I don't know how to use
pkgconfig directly.
TIA for any hints.
