To make it a bit more clear: packagers (those folks who create the packages for certain distros) should (be able to) rely on the individual upstreams properly using the pkg-config infrastructure, so they have one common place for doing their necessary adaptions. > > Why should some refuse to install such an fundamental tool ? > > Have you ever looked at the pkg-config source?

It's not nice, but at least it works (probably better than it will after the already discussed transition to glib2 ;-p).

Have you ever looked at the pkg-config source? For something as fundamental as pkg-config, the source code is a mess. It has a local copy of at least half of glib1 for example... Joerg

Packagers should provide pkg-config. The only situation in which the manual override is needed if you want to build it on a system that doesn't have pkg-config and where you don't want to install it.

(some distros maybe already removed it already). And keep in mind that these *-config scripts are quite crosscompile-unfriedly. > Pretty much.

Which requires another special tweak in the distro's package build rules/descriptors - exactly what packagers do not like. cu -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: weigelt(a)metux.de mobile: +49 151 27565287 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Using this as an "effort estimation", I'd say if one developer works full time one week on it, most of it would be done. No big deal. (FWIW, I wrote dillo's GTK1 and FLTK2 UI). BTW, the key point in dillo development since a long time, is manpower. When there're developers working on something, it advances very well. For the same reason, I want to thank corvid for all the effort he has put on the 1.3 branch. When I have some time I'll look into the UI. -- Cheers Jorge.-

Pretty much. If you don't have it, you can still override the automatic detection via PNG_CFLAGS / PNG_LIBS or so. Joerg
