The m4 macros are doing fancy stuff... Instead of simply doing pkg-config --foo glib-2.0" or its m4 version PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GLIB, glib-2.0 >= glib_required_version) you would use: AM_PATH_GLIB_2_0(...) which does the above, and additionally does paranoia checks like verifying that the lib and its headers belong together, that a program can actually be compiled against that version, and whatnot. It's "extra paranoia", useful, but not strictly needed. > In case anyone else is running Gentoo, the path (at least for a pure > 64-bit build) is "/usr/lib/gio/modules". > > For the next person who encounters this problem, maybe a link to Mitch's > post could be added to > http://wiki.gimp.org/wiki/Hacking:Problems_and_solutions#GIMP_build_fails_for_missing_BABL_function? Or maybe it should be part of the FAQ? Alexandre? I think this could be useful.
