Description Tilman Sauerbeck 2007-04-21 02:35:01 UTC 
shared-mime-info.pc is installed to $datadir/pkgconfig, but it should be in $libdir/pkgconfig.

Thanks, good catch! Fixed.
Comment 3 Ville Skyttä 2007-06-27 12:36:32 UTC 
I'm wondering what the rationale for this change is.  The file doesn't appear to contain anything architecture specific, so $datadir/pkgconfig sounds correct to me.  (Reopening for comments.)
Comment 4 Christian - Manny Calavera - Neumair 2007-06-27 13:00:01 UTC 
I've observed that GNOME packages like Nautilus and gnome-vfs also install their .pc files to $libdir/pkgconfig.
Comment 5 Ville Skyttä 2007-06-28 08:14:18 UTC 
Yes, but unlike shared-mime-info's, their *.pc files contain architecture specific things such as $libdir, Cflags etc.  $libdir/pkgconfig is correct for them.
Comment 6 Bastien Nocera 2007-07-22 09:10:08 UTC 
It reverts the patch from bug 9789 I committed. What's the reasoning behind installing it in $(libdir)? It shouldn't be there if it doesn't contain any arch specific data, which it doesn't.

        * Makefile.am:
        * shared-mime-info.pc.in: Patch from Ville Skyttä <ville.skytta@iki.fi>
        to move the shared-mime-info pkgconfig file to $(datadir), as it doesn't
        contain any arch-specific data (Closes: #9789)


Unless you have a good reason for moving it, please revert this commit.
Comment 7 Christian - Manny Calavera - Neumair 2007-07-25 06:46:33 UTC 
OK, reverted.
