pkg-config is indeed a bit of bloat itself. The alternative for *its* dependencies is to build its own internal glib2 from source (note: the previous versions of pkg-config didn't have the glib2 dep because they built their own internal glib1 from source). The major dep bloat (setting aside pkg-config's choice of implementation) is the glib2->gtk-doc build dep, which IIRC is only needed because of a bug in the glib2 dist tarball. Newer glib2 will presumably not need that hack. Packages that need the functionality of pkg-config but want a lighter-weight implementation are welcome to use pykg-config (see .'fink info pkkg-config' for compatibility and migration details). dan -- Daniel Macks dma...@netspace.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ HPCC Systems Open Source Big Data Platform from LexisNexis Risk Solutions Find What Matters Most in Your Big Data with HPCC Systems Open Source.
