While I understand it's not *strictly* needed for FHS
compliance..... it is something that many developers, outside of
GNUstep, use on a daily basis.
If someone can produce a patch which would simplify gnustep-make
that uses pkg-config, I really don't see a reason not to consider
including it.
I don't really see the point of this. It might be nice to support
pkg-config for those who want it, but pkg-config doesn't even come
close to supporting the requirements of GNUstep development. First,
pkg-config is only for developers. Maybe it would be useful for
writting a few tools and such using GNUstep, but for anything more
complicated? Why would a developer want to used all the advanced
capabilities of the GNUstep envirnoment AND want to write all their
Makefiles from scratch using pkg-config? Seems counter-productive.
As Nicola said, it doesn't even simply things, either.
