Sqlite3 isn't the only one with a bogus dependency to pkg-config, for example audio/libsndfile does the same by using "USE_GNOME=gnomehack pkgconfig" instead of doing the proper thing (tm) which is patching Makefile.in to install the .pc file to $(prefix)/libdata/pkgconfig. I can try to track down some of those and submit PRs. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
