Re: [matplotlib-devel] Dev build on matplotlib with conda

[Michael D. <md...@st...>]

Sorry for the delayed response.

I had a discussion thread with Aaron Meurer last year about adding 
pkg-config support to anaconda so that matplotlib would build 
out-of-the-box, but I don't think that's gone anywhere.  That would 
allow the extensive patches in the anaconda matplotlib recipe (and 
probably many other recipes for C and Unixy packages) to go away. (Note 
that the "pkgconfig" Python package in Anaconda is just the Python 
wrapper to the underlying Unix tool which is not present in Anaconda).
