Description Ingmar Vanhassel 2010-05-25 06:53:59 UTC 
The latest pkg-config release fails to find packages that contain an empty Cflags field:

ingmar@cannonball ~/development/git/FDO/pkg-config (git)-[master]- % pkg-config --atleast-version 2.22.0 gthread-2.0 --print-errors ; echo $?
0
ingmar@cannonball ~/development/git/FDO/pkg-config (git)-[master]- % pkg-config --atleast-version 2.22.0 glib-2.0 --print-errors ; echo $?
0

ingmar@cannonball ~/development/git/FDO/pkg-config (git)-[master]- % pkg-config --atleast-version 2.22.0 gio-2.0 --print-errors ; echo $?
Couldn't parse Cflags field into an argument vector: missing argument
1
ingmar@cannonball ~/development/git/FDO/pkg-config (git)-[master]- % pkg-config --atleast-version 2.22.0 gobject-2.0 --print-errors ; echo $?
Couldn't parse Cflags field into an argument vector: missing argument
1

Both packages have an empty 'Cflags:' field:
 % ack '^Cflags:\s+$' /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/{gio,gobject}-2.0.pc
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/gio-2.0.pc
14:Cflags: 
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/gobject-2.0.pc
11:Cflags:

Since this affects glib, this breaks quite a few packages.

Thanks, this is fixed in the just-released 0.25
