This has been fixed. + - when building with newer and external libpopt, it would be confused + over being asked to split an empty string, leading to errors with + packages that included empty fields in their .pc files. + - Make the COPYING file explicitly GPLv2. The COPYING file in 0.24 + was inadvertently GPLv3 rather than the correct GPLv2. + - Minor changes to documentation + +pkg-config 0.24 +=== + - Fix up bug in PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT handling which mangled non-I and + non-L arguments + - Put /usr/lib/pkgconfig and /usr/share/pkgconfig into the default + search path when no prefix is passed to configure. + - Portability fixes for Windows and NetBSD + - Various man page updates + - Add logging support to log how pkg-config is being called. + - Skip Requires.private unless we need them for Cflags + - Add a variable, pc_path to the compiled-in pkg-config package that + you can query for the compiled-in PKG_CONFIG_PC_PATH. + - Various updates to pkg.m4. + - Update rpmvercmp with bugfixes from upstream. + - Add introductory guide to pkg-config, thanks to Dan Nicholson for + the patch. + - Add listing of variables in a package + - Make it possible to use external popt. + - Add --print-provides and --print-requires(-private) options + - Add support for paths containing whitespace and shell metacharacters + +pkg-config 0.23 +=== + - Add support for setting sysroot through PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR in + the environment. + - Update included glib to 1.2.10. + - Other minor fixes, including a segfault. + +pkg-config 0.22 +=== + - Make Requires.private a whole lot more useful by traversing the + whole tree, not just the top-level, for Cflags. + - Add support for using the system glib. + - Update URL to pkg-config website + - Fix some win32 problems. + - Other minor fixes. + +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. + +pkg-config 0.20 +=== + - 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. + +pkg-config 0.19 +=== + - Fix a segfault + - Fix default search path + - Fix cosmetic bug in pkg.m4 where AC_MSG_RESULT wasn't called in + some cases. + +pkg-config 0.18.1 +=== + - Fix up pkg.m4 to not end up with pkg_failed=untried always. + +pkg-config 0.18 +=== + - 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. + +pkg-config 0.17.2 +=== + - Don't go into an infinite loop allocating more and more memory when + the same name is specified twice on the command line and we're in + "direct dependencies only"-mode. + +pkg-config 0.17.1 +=== + - Now actually sets CFLAGS and LIBS instead of trying to set those in + a subshell. (Only affects if you've autoreconfiscated with 0.17) + - Fix detection of inter-library dependencies. + +pkg-config 0.17 +=== + + - Evaluate second argument to PKG_CHECK_MODULES again + - Portability fixes (MacOS, BeOS, Cygwin) + - Handle inter-library dependencies and assume those are in place if + the platform supports them. Disable with --enable-indirect-deps. + - Add initial test framework + - Build fixes (make distcheck now works) + +pkg-config 0.16 +=== + + - Use a search path, rather than a single default directory. + - Fix a bunch of bugs in glib by backporting + - More man page fixes + - Lots of small fixes and cleanups over the place. + - pkg-config now grabs _PKG_* and PKG_*, so don't use variables + starting with that in any configure scripts. + +pkg-config 0.15 +=== + + - add PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR for cross-compiling (David Schleef) + - add --libs-only-other/--cflags-only-other (Zack Rusin) + - apply man page fixes (Pter Breitenlohner) + - C portability fix (David Robins) + - fix to win32 build (Tor Lillqvist) |
