I repeat, there is no .pc file I can distribute and I don't see why one should be necessary. We in fact do not have a package config file requirement for all development packages (and pkgconfig is broken anyway). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Seriously - using it rips out distribution specific dependencies from our spec. files by providing an up-stream defined namespace, and is incredibly useful. Other packages higher up the stack will depend on this .pc file. Richard, please can we include that patch ? (/me begs etc. :-) Damien - it is a good question though: why can we not get this up-stream ? we don't like patching our packages - it's a pain to maintain :-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Thus, for libffi[-devel]-32bit, how are you supposed to use it? Doing gcc test.c `pkg-config --libs libffi` -m32 doesn't work. Nor does it with any other library. And I can't see how it _can_ work (at least with specifying lib paths like all existing pkg-config files do). Still, I have prepared a very simple .pc file for you, it'll be available from the libffi package in devel:gcc, so please test if that works for you.
cat /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libffi.pc Name: libffi Version: 3.0.9 Libs: -lffi
that should in theory also work for multilibs (libffi is in the standard search path). I have trouble with a test build right now, so the commit to devel:gcc will take some time. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Should the distro > include/generate the .pc file or could you include it? libffi.pc comes with libffi and will get installed with make install. It should be part of their libffi-devel package. The program includes a libffi.pc.in file and should get installed with make install. I've downloaded also the libffi-devel from other distro's. They contain the .pc file without patching e.g from fedora: src rpm: http://mirror.telepoint.bg/fedora/fedora/linux//development/rawhide/source/SRPMS/libffi-3.0.9-1.fc13.src.rpm i586: http://mirror.telepoint.bg/fedora/fedora/linux//development/rawhide/i386/os/Packages/libffi-devel-3.0.9-1.fc13.i686.rpm and http://mirror.telepoint.bg/fedora/fedora/linux//development/rawhide/i386/os/Packages/libffi-3.0.9-1.fc13.i686.rpm >From the build service in: 1) server:monitoring 2) devel:languages:ruby:1.9 I found libffi and libffi-devel packages, that contain libffi and the devel package. It contains libffi.pc.in . -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

pkg-config is configured and built for exactly one host triple. On x86_64-suse-linux-gnu, /usr/bin/pkg-config is configured to look into /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/, where .pc files for 64-bit compliation (and only that) are located. If you want to crosscompile to 32-bit, you will need a pkg-config compiled for i586-suse-linux-gnu which then looks in /usr/lib/pkgconfig, where 32-bit .pc files are located. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
