Re: [Gearbox-devel] Fedora package status

[Alex M. <al...@ca...>]

Thanks to Rich for all the work on the packages.

Below is the pkg-config issue he's referring to (note that this
relates to the traditional Linux pkg-config, not the CMake
package-config -- terrible naming!)

I know nothing about pkg-config and never use it. So unless, someone
objects, I will apply Rich's patch in a couple of days.

===============================
the CMakeLists.txt files that generate .pc files are all putting their requ
ired libraries in the "ext_deps" section of the GBX_ADD_PKGCONFIG, instead
of the "int_deps" section. This is causing the .pc files to list the libra
ry dependancies in the "Requires" section instead of on the "Libs" line. I
t still worked for the most part, but a few of the utility libraries don't
generate their own .pc files, which causes "module not found" errors when p
kg-config looks for modules in the Requires section. The attached patch fi
xes this issue
===============================

cheers,
alex
