Description Peter Breitenlohner 2007-01-19 07:21:04 UTC

Due to the mutual dependence between glib and pkg-config, there ought to be a
way to build pkg-config against the bundled glib-1.2.8.

This should, however, by no means imply the pkg-config cannot by built against
an installed glib-2.x (if this library and thus pkg-config -- presumably some
older version -- are present).

Attached is a sequence of 5 patches, introducing a configure option
--with-installed-glib, allowing to do this.

Since this requires to run autoreconf (automake, autoconf, etc.) the first four
patches are required to upgrade the input files for automake-1.10 and
autoconf-2.61a; the final fifth patch introduces then the new configure option.
