/usr/bin/xslt-config that could be called instead of pkg-config. (I
think those two executables are standard parts of the libxml2 and
libxslt packages, but I might be wrong.)
Yeah, the question is: how long? Everything nowadays is done by
pkg-config..
Well, obviously at least not on Mac OS X (which includes everything
needed to program against libxml and libxslt, but not pkg-config).
Using the general pkg-config instead of (or before) the specific
xml2|xslt-config has at least two problems:
For one, as Eric observed, it needlessly makes pkg-config a prerequisite
on Mac.
Not that argument again, plese...
??? I must have missed the relevant thread.
the former is not available or does not work). I used a crude patch to
verify this (see below), but I would be happy if somebody with deeper
knowledge of autoconf (Rene?) turned this into a clean patch.
Please don't patch a generated file. Patch configure.in. (and run
autoconf)
Sure. I just wanted to get feedback on the chosen approach (and ideally
somebody willing to turn my crude patch into a good one).
