Package: pkg-config
Version: 0.15.0-3
Severity: important

Running the following command:

    erikd@coltrane > pkg-config --list-all

    mad                       mad - MPEG Audio Decoder

    libpng                    libpng10 - Loads and saves PNG files
    glib-2.0                  GLib - C Utility Library
    libxml                    libXML - libXML library.
    pangoxft                  Pango Xft - Xft font support for Pango
    directfb                  DirectFB - graphics and windowing library on Linux
framebuffer
    fftw3                     FFTW - fast Fourier transform library
    libIDL                    libIDL - IDL parsing library
    gnome-mime-data-2.0       gnome-mime-data - Base set of file types and

    gdk-pixbuf-xlib-2.0       GdkPixbuf Xlib - GdkPixbuf rendering for Xlib
    fftw3f                    FFTW - fast Fourier transform library
    xft                       Xft - X FreeType library
    gtk+                      GTK+ - GIMP Tool Kit
    gobject-2.0               GObject - GLib Type, Object, Parameter and Signal
Library
    Package libgnomeui-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
    Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libgnomeui-2.0.pc'
    to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
    Package 'libgnomeui-2.0', required by 'gnome-window-settings-2.0', not found

While if I count the number of *.pc files in the appropriate place:

    erikd@coltrane > ls -l /usr/lib/pkgconfig/*.pc | wc -l
    55

I get far more files than the above command listed. This seems to be caused by
a "Requires:" directive in gnome-window-settings-2.0.pc.

I believe that the "Requires:" directive should be ignored when all I want
to do is list all the packages which have *.pc files.

Subject: Patch to fix list-all problem
Message-Id: <20040215125013.6ba7d4dd.erikd@mega-nerd.com>

Please find enclosed two patches.

The first fixes a couple of compiler warnings, the second fixes
the above listed bug. The second one might not be the neatest 
solution, but it seems to work here.

[The first one is bugzilla #190]

       the available packages.
       (internal_get_package): Pass ignore_requires on.

       * parse.h: update prototype for parse_package_file.

       * parse.c (parse_line): Ignore Requires when told so.
       (parse_package_file): Pass ingore_requires on to parse_line.
