./devel/pkgconf, API-driven pkg-config replacement

[ Image CVSweb ] [ Image Homepage ] [ Image RSS ] [ Image Required by ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 2.5.1, Package name: pkgconf-2.5.1, Maintainer: nico

pkgconf is a program which helps to configure compiler and linker flags for
development frameworks. It is similar to pkg-config, but was written from
scratch in the summer of 2011 to replace pkg-config, which now needs itself
to build itself (or you can set a bunch of environment variables, both are
pretty ugly).

Log message:
pkgconf: updated to 2.5.1

Changes from 2.5.0 to 2.5.1:

* Fix processing of empty dependency lists.

Changes from 2.4.3 to 2.5.0:

* Added a manual page for bomtool.

* Add support for preloaded packages.
  These are modules which are preloaded into the package database
  and preferred over searching the module search path when present.

* Refactor Windows registry PKG_CONFIG_PATH support so that it
  augments the main directory search list instead of being treated
  as a special case.

* Processing of `--with-path` arguments by the pkgconf CLI is
  now deferred until libpkgconf is fully initialized, effectively
  aligning behavior with PKG_CONFIG_PATH processing.

* Fix several minor memory safety bugs which were identified by
  the GCC 15 static analyzer.

* Added support for pledge(2) and unveil(2) on systems where
  this functionality is available.

* Significant improvements to pkgconf's manual pages.
  Patches by Ingo Schwarze and Jonathan Gray (OpenBSD).

* Remove questionable default-static assumption on Windows that
  was inherited from the original pkg-config.  Most distributions
  of pkgconf on Windows were already patching this out.
  Patch by Kai Pastor.

* Add -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200809L to the build definitions, which
  is needed for readlinkat on glibc.
  Patch by Filipe Laíns.
