Cairo, mowgli, pcre reference glib2 in explanations, so not changed.
The following packages have glib2 as an optional dependency : qt4, gtk-doc, pulseaudio. I have no experience of trying to build any of these in the absence of pkg-config. I assume it would be painful (needing to specify LIBS and CFLAGS for everything), but I don't know. Any objection to recommending pkg-config for these three packages ? ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
