There used to be circular dependency between pkg-config and glib build. The core problem (which affected also projects like OpenEmbedded) has been fixed in newer pkg-config releases, but I missed this problem remaining in crosser. Installing libffi development package of your distribution will certainly let you pass this problem, as native-glib build can then find it, using your system pkg-config. That's why I have not noticed the problem. I'm testing just now reordering of the native-pkg-config and native-glib builds so that pkg-config that uses correct paths to find libffi dllshost will be available by the time native-glib is being built. Hopefully I can release crosser-0.13.2 this weekend with this fix. - ML _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
