pkg-config 0.21
===
- Fix some cosmetic output from pkg.m4
- Fix build problems with !gcc due to always passing -Wall
- Documentation fixes
- We now always add the Cflags from packages we depend on, whether
they are public or private dependencies. The discussion surrouding
this change can be found in http://bugs.debian.org/340904 .
- Add internal pkg-config package which can be queried for version
number and other information.
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
- Fix test suite to work on Solaris. Yay non-POSIX /bin/sh :-(
- Fix segfault on --help with gcc4. Fix segfault on bigendian arches
in some cases.
- Win32 fixes
- Add --short-errors, now used by pkg.m4 if available. This gives a
better error message if some libraries can't be found.
file's sole purpose was to provide a dependency on pkg-config and set
some environment variables. Instead, turn pkg-config into a "tool"
in the tools framework, where the pkg-config wrapper automatically
adds PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to the environment before invoking the real
pkg-config.
For all package Makefiles that included pkg-config/buildlink3.mk, remove
that inclusion and replace it with USE_TOOLS+=pkg-config.

* pkg.c (package_get_var): Make sure to g_strdup all the return
values and not return some values which should not be freed and
some which should. Yay valgrind. Freedesktop #3682
* configure.in: Fix default search path to be pkgconfig rather
than pkg-config again. Freedesktop #3662

for noticing this and harassing me to fix it.

The inter-library dependencies check was too tight and caused
problems if one used the --no-undefined flag to libtool on Solaris
(since it there expands to -Wl,-z,defs which disallows undefined
symbols). Add a new name to .pc files: Libs.private which will
not be listed in the output of --libs unless --static is also
given.
Private libraries are libraries which are needed in the case of
static linking or on platforms not supporting inter-library
dependencies. They are not supposed to be used for libraries
which are exposed through the library in question. An example of
an exposed library is GTK+ exposing Glib. A common example of a
private library is libm.
Generally, if include another library's headers in your own, it's
a public dependency and not a private one.
Thanks a lot to James Henstridge for both the bug and the following
discussion.
