pkg-config 0.26 is out and one of the changes is the removal of an internal copy of the glib code. That means that pkg-config now requires glib to build. However, glib requires pkg-config to build. Hence a fun build loop.
Does anyone have any idea how we should deal with this situation?
This has to be fixed in the project configuration, I know you can break loops there, but I dont recall exactly how atm.
You can only break artificial loops. This one is real. When bootstrapping you have to have both, so it's real.
I only see two solutions (both are ugly):
* Merge the Sources into one package and have pkg-config build as subpackage from glib (or the other way around) * avoid pkg-config in glib
* avoid glib in pkg-config. The few features it uses (hash table, singly linked list, string) could either be implemnted in standard C or the implemenation copied from glib. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
