| pkg-config 0.29.2 |
| ================= |
| |
| - Improved pkg-config's recursive package list expansion performance. |
| Thanks to Matthew Hanna for the fix. |
| - Handle an empty prefix setting correctly when --define-prefix is used. |
| (#97453) |
| - Lazily load pc files instead of reading all available pc files during |
| initialization. Thanks to Marco Diego Aurélio Mesquita for the fix. |
| (#98215) |
| - Check the CPATH environment variable when determining system include |
| paths like GCC does. Document the system search path behavior. Thanks |
| to v4hn for the fix. (#99224) |
| - Make PKG_CHECK_MODULES show the module list rather than the variable |
| prefix in configure output. Thanks to Russ Allbery for the fix. |
| (#98334) |
| - Fix bundled glib build with GCC 6. (#98334) |
| - Handle -isystem and -idirafter when PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR is set. |
| (#97337) |
| - Check the INCLUDE environment variable when determining system include |
| paths on Windows builds when --msvc-syntax is used. (#94729) |
| |
| pkg-config 0.29.1 |
| ================= |
| |
| - Fixed a regression from 0.29 with unquoting values queried with |
| --variable. In some cases, this would cause shell special characters to |
| be escaped in ways they weren't before. Instead, the unquoting only |
| occurs if the value appears to be quoted. (#93284) |
| - Add support for building pkg-config with Microsoft Visual Studio. |
| Thanks to Chun-wei Fan for the fix. (#92489) |
| - Allow overriding pkg-config variables with environment variables. By |
| setting an environment variable of the form |
| PKG_CONFIG_$PACKAGE_$VARIABLE, a pkg-config variable can be set |
| globally without always having to pass --define-variable. Thanks to |
| Alex Larsson for the fix. (#90917) |
| - Honor -Wl,-framework in addition to -framework so that multiple |
| frameworks are handled on OSX. (#1278) |
| - Fix the OSX build using --with-internal-glib. Thanks to Rudá Moura for |
| the initial fix and Adam Mercer for testing the final patch. (#92902) |
| |
| pkg-config 0.29 |
| === |
| |
| - Fixed a regression from 0.28 in system -L flag handling. If the pc |
| file has multiple system -L flags, every other flag will be left as |
| is. Thanks to Andrew Oakley for the fix. (#78077) |
| - Quoting of variables queried through --variable is removed so that the |
| output can be used verbatim in subsequent shell commands. Thanks to |
| Marek Kasik for the fix. (#67904) |
| - Fixed a regression from 0.28 in -L flag handling on Windows. A .libs |
| suffix was inadvertantly being added to the library path. |
| - Added a --validate option to check pc file syntax. This works just |
| like --exists, but package dependencies are disabled. (#7000) |
| - Added the PKG_PREREQ autoconf macro. Whereas PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG is |
| used to check the version of the pkg-config tool, this is used to |
| check the version of the pkg-config autoconf macros in use. |
| - Added the PKG_CHECK_MODULES_STATIC autoconf macro. This will |
| temporarily add --static to the pkg-config calls while invoking |
| PKG_CHECK_MODULES. (#19541) |
| - Many fixes to the testsuite for Windows. It should now pass for a |
| MinGW, Cygwin, and cross-compiled MinGW using Wine for test execution. |
| (#66939) |
| - More consistent handling of prefix redefinition. On Windows, the |
| prefix was always being redefined based on the pc file path. This |
| feature can now be enabled or disabled at runtime on all platforms |
| using the --define-prefix and --dont-define-prefix options. (#63602) |
| - Continue listing packages with --list-all even if there are errors in |
| pc files. (#26615) |
| - Various documentation improvements. (#62018, #62374, #66155) |
| - Fixed a bug when multiple -isystem arguments are used. (#72584) |
| - pkg-config is now built with largefile support to ensure that it works |
| correctly on filesystems with 64 bit inodes. Thanks to Peter Jones for |
| the fix. (#90078) |
| - Bugs fixed: 7000, 19541, 26615, 62018, 62374, 63602, 66155, 66939, |
| 67904, 70690, 72584, 78077, 80378, 80380, 89267, 90078, 90437, 92002. |
| |
| pkg-config 0.28 |
| === |
| - Fixed a pair of long-standing and intertwined bugs involving unwanted |
| removal of flags. The first is that other Libs flags like -Wl are now |
| kept in context order with -l flags. The second is that aggressive |
| removal of all duplicate arguments has been scaled back so that just |
| consecutive duplicate arguments are removed. One result of this change |
| is that some flags could be repeated in the final output, especially |
| flags from non-pkg-config packages like -lm. Since pkg-config rarely |
| has enough knowledge here about the right thing to do, we throw the |
| duplicate arguments at the compiler/linker and trust it will do the |
| right thing. |
| - Fixed an old bug to allow circular Requires. This fix brings along a |
| small behavior change in that pkg-config resolves requires depth |
| first, causing some lower level flags to show up earlier in the output |
| than previously. |
| - Cleaned up many corner-case bugs and ambiguous behavior in |
| pkg-config's interface. Thanks to Michał Górny for finding so many of |
| these. |
| - New autoconf macro PKG_CHECK_VAR for reading variables from .pc files. |
| - Default to suppressing -L/lib and/or -L/lib64 like their /usr |
| counterparts. |
| - To help support multiarch scenarios out of the box, $host-pkg-config |
| is now installed unless --disable-host-tool is passed to configure. |
| - Added optional gcov usage through the --with-gcov configure option. As |
| a result, many more tests were added to greatly increase the coverage |
| of the code to 86% of executed lines on a Fedora 18 machine. |
| - Bugs fixed: 130, 7331, 16101, 17053, 19950, 34504, 48098, 54231, |
| 54271, 54379, 54384, 54386, 54388, 54389, 54390, 54391, 54427, 54463, |
| 54716, 57078, 58363, 59435. |
| |
| pkg-config 0.27.1 |
| === |
| |
| - Various fixes for using the internal glib snapshot. It should now be |
| usable pretty much everywhere with the exception that universal |
| builds are not supported on OS X. |
| - Remove usage of gettext from the internal glib to avoid gettext and |
| libintl dependencies. |
| - Update internal glib snapshot to 2.32.4. |
| - Fix check for POSIX shell used in tests to work better. |
| - Handle spaces in autodetected prefix on Windows. |
| - Bugs fixed 3550, 51883, 52031, 53493. |
| |
| pkg-config 0.27 |
| === |
| |
| - Drop usage of popt for equivalent API in glib2. |
| - Add back an internal snapshot of glib2 to break circular dependency. |
| This can be used by passing --with-internal-glib to configure. On |
| Windows it may still be required to use an installed glib. |
| - Fix --exists to check for Requires and Requires.private. This ensures |
| that all necessary packages are installed prior to using --cflags, |
| --libs, etc. |
| - Various fixes for MinGW which should allow it to be used unpatched on |
| that system. |
| - New autoconf macros PKG_INSTALLDIR and PKG_NOARCH_INSTALLDIR to help |
| determine the .pc file install directory. |
| - Fix handling of --exact/atleast/max-version vs. =/>=/<=. |
| - Fix errors in man page source. |
| - Ensure testing only searches in the check directory. |
| - Bump glib requirement to 2.16 to avoid deprecated |
| g_win32_get_package_installation_subdirectory(). |
| - Autotools refresh and update. The required versions now are |
| autoconf-2.62, automake-1.11 and libtool-2.2. |
| - Use g_alloca from glib instead of figuring out alloca ourselves. |
| - Remove search for setresuid & setreuid only needed for internal popt. |
| - Bugs fixed: 833, 2458, 5214, 5326, 5703, 6074, 8653, 9135, 9143, |
| 9584, 10652, 11464, 14396, 17053, 23922, 28776, 29011, 29801, 31699, |
| 31700, 32622, 34382, 37266, 39646, 41081, 43149, 44843, 45599, 45742, |

| |
| pkg-config 0.26 |
| === |
| |
| - Build system fixes |
| - More tests |
| - pkg.m4 fixups which makes autoconf 2.66 happier. |
| - Drop support for legacy -config scripts. Those should already be |
| gone and cause problems in cross-compilation environments. |
| - Drop embedded glib |
| - Fix up pkg.m4 to handle the case of --exists working and --cflags |
| or --libs failing. |
| - Various documentation updates |
| - Allow $() through without escaping it. |
| - Add --with-system-include-path instead of hard-coding |
| /usr/include. |
| |
| pkg-config 0.25 |
| === |
| |
| - 0.24 included a too strict whitespace/shell metacharacter filter |
| leading to some legal characters like = and : being escaped in the |
| output. This has been fixed. |
| - when building with newer and external libpopt, it would be confused |
| over being asked to split an empty string, leading to errors with |
| packages that included empty fields in their .pc files. |
| - Make the COPYING file explicitly GPLv2. The COPYING file in 0.24 |
| was inadvertently GPLv3 rather than the correct GPLv2. |
| - Minor changes to documentation |
| |
| pkg-config 0.24 |
| === |
| - Fix up bug in PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT handling which mangled non-I and |
| non-L arguments |
| - Put /usr/lib/pkgconfig and /usr/share/pkgconfig into the default |
| search path when no prefix is passed to configure. |
| - Portability fixes for Windows and NetBSD |
| - Various man page updates |
| - Add logging support to log how pkg-config is being called. |
| - Skip Requires.private unless we need them for Cflags |
| - Add a variable, pc_path to the compiled-in pkg-config package that |
| you can query for the compiled-in PKG_CONFIG_PC_PATH. |
| - Various updates to pkg.m4. |
| - Update rpmvercmp with bugfixes from upstream. |
| - Add introductory guide to pkg-config, thanks to Dan Nicholson for |
| the patch. |
| - Add listing of variables in a package |
| - Make it possible to use external popt. |
| - Add --print-provides and --print-requires(-private) options |
| - Add support for paths containing whitespace and shell metacharacters |
| |
| pkg-config 0.23 |
| === |
| - Add support for setting sysroot through PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR in |
| the environment. |
| - Update included glib to 1.2.10. |
| - Other minor fixes, including a segfault. |
| |
| pkg-config 0.22 |
| === |
| - Make Requires.private a whole lot more useful by traversing the |
| whole tree, not just the top-level, for Cflags. |
| - Add support for using the system glib. |
| - Update URL to pkg-config website |
| - Fix some win32 problems. |
| - Other minor fixes. |
| |
| pkg-config 0.21 |
| === |
| - Fix some cosmetic output from pkg.m4 |
| - Fix build problems with !gcc due to always passing -Wall |
| - Documentation fixes |
| - We now always add the Cflags from packages we depend on, whether |
| they are public or private dependencies. The discussion surrouding |
| this change can be found in http://bugs.debian.org/340904 . |
| - Add internal pkg-config package which can be queried for version |
| number and other information. |
| |
| pkg-config 0.20 |
| === |
| - Fix test suite to work on Solaris. Yay non-POSIX /bin/sh :-( |
| - Fix segfault on --help with gcc4. Fix segfault on bigendian arches |
| in some cases. |
| - Win32 fixes |
| - Add --short-errors, now used by pkg.m4 if available. This gives a |
| better error message if some libraries can't be found. |
| |
| pkg-config 0.19 |
| === |
| - Fix a segfault |
| - Fix default search path |
| - Fix cosmetic bug in pkg.m4 where AC_MSG_RESULT wasn't called in |
| some cases. |
| |
| pkg-config 0.18.1 |
| === |
| - Fix up pkg.m4 to not end up with pkg_failed=untried always. |
| |
| pkg-config 0.18 |
| === |
| - The inter-library dependencies check was too tight and caused |
| problems if one used the --no-undefined flag to libtool on Solaris |
| (since it there expands to -Wl,-z,defs which disallows undefined |
| symbols). Add a new name to .pc files: Libs.private which will not |
| be listed in the output of --libs unless --static is also given. |
| |
| Private libraries are libraries which are needed in the case of |
| static linking or on platforms not supporting inter-library |
| dependencies. They are not supposed to be used for libraries which |
| are exposed through the library in question. An example of an |
| exposed library is GTK+ exposing Glib. A common example of a private |
| library is libm. |
| |
| Generally, if include another library's headers in your own, it's a |
| public dependency and not a private one. |
| |
| Thanks a lot to James Henstridge for both the bug and the following |
| discussion. |
| |
| pkg-config 0.17.2 |
| === |
| - Don't go into an infinite loop allocating more and more memory when |
| the same name is specified twice on the command line and we're in |
| "direct dependencies only"-mode. |
| |
| pkg-config 0.17.1 |
| === |
| - Now actually sets CFLAGS and LIBS instead of trying to set those in |
| a subshell. (Only affects if you've autoreconfiscated with 0.17) |
| - Fix detection of inter-library dependencies. |
| |
| pkg-config 0.17 |
| === |
| |
| - Evaluate second argument to PKG_CHECK_MODULES again |
| - Portability fixes (MacOS, BeOS, Cygwin) |
| - Handle inter-library dependencies and assume those are in place if |
| the platform supports them. Disable with --enable-indirect-deps. |
| - Add initial test framework |
| - Build fixes (make distcheck now works) |
| |
| pkg-config 0.16 |
| === |
| |
| - Use a search path, rather than a single default directory. |
| - Fix a bunch of bugs in glib by backporting |
| - More man page fixes |
| - Lots of small fixes and cleanups over the place. |
| - pkg-config now grabs _PKG_* and PKG_*, so don't use variables |
| starting with that in any configure scripts. |
| |
| pkg-config 0.15 |
| === |
| |
| - add PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR for cross-compiling (David Schleef) |
