Be prepared that it gets dropped some day. (some distros maybe already removed it already). And keep in mind that these *-config scripts are quite crosscompile-unfriedly.
Pretty much. If you don't have it, you can still override the automatic detection via PNG_CFLAGS / PNG_LIBS or so.
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@metux.de mobile: +49 151 27565287 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme ----------------------------------------------------------------------
