In March I fixed up the remaining packages which listed glib2 as a requirement, so that they now list pkg-config. That was, of course, for 0.26 which itself required glib2.
Now that we have a better version of pkgconfig, those dependencies are broken. Here's my first suggestion: Change glib2 to *recommend* pkgconfig, and therefore drop the PCRE and LIBFFI overrides. We *could* list these as optional commands, with an explanation of why there was a circular dependency with the previous pkgconfig, but I'd rather just drop them. Follow this by reverting the glib -> pkgconfig part of the changes if the package is still 'live' in the book. In practice, I'll do that by new changes. Anybody using the book after that will get the right deps. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
