Updated: pkg-config-0.21-1


The pkg-config program is used to retrieve information about installed libraries in the system, including the CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, and other information necessary to compile and link against one or more libraries.

CHANGES:

* routine update to latest upstream release
* switch to cygport build framework
* Upstream release contained fixes for
  + Debian #254289, #287339
  + Debian #378570
  + Debian #340904
  + Freedesktop #4795.
  + Freedesktop #7742
  + Freedesktop #7741
  + Freedesktop #4888
  + Gnome #166537

Note that the new "private libs" and "private requires" features do not work as they would on *nix systems in this release, because this pkg-config was compiled with the --enable-indirect-deps option. This option is necessary to properly link dependent DLLs on MSWin/cygwin, but means that no library dependency is truly private. However, .pc files that use the .private options will work properly -- as defined on the MSWin/cygwin platform: private libs will be folded into the public libs list, and private requires will likewise be folded into the public requires list.
