It wouldn't surprise me if some LFS package looks for pkg-config in the near future. At that time, we'll have to put it in LFS. Until then, it's a crap-shoot as to include it or not. I really don't care on the LFS side, but in BLFS, it is becoming mandatory for almost all packages. Discussion of this issue is in order. My vote is to add it to LFS. I sort of look at it like the autotools. They aren't required, but you'll need it for sure down the road. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.24] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 19:56:01 up 1 day, 5:55, 1 user, load average: 0.11, 0.09, 0.33 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
