X-Authentication-Warning: delorie.com: mail set sender to djgpp-bounces using -f Message-Id: <202210041938.294JcUBO032020@delorie.com> Date: Tue, 4 Oct 2022 20:09:44 +0200 From: "Juan Manuel Guerrero (juan DOT guerrero AT gmx DOT de) [via djgpp-announce AT delorie DOT com]" To: djgpp-announce AT delorie DOT com Subject: ANNOUNCE: DJGPP port of pkg-config 0.23 uploaded Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Reply-To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com This is a port of pkg-config 0.23 to MSDOS/DJGPP. The pkg-config program is used to retrieve information about installed libraries in the system. It is typically used to compile and to link against one or more libraries. DJGPP specific changes. ======================= - The port honours the PATH_SEPARATOR environment variable to select the path separator to be used. If no one is given it defaults to semi-colon as seprator. - This pkg-config version is the last one that can be compiled with disabled multi-threading support. All later GLib library versions require MT support that can only be provided by one of the two DJGPP ports either pth207b or fpth314b. Neither of them performe well. Although pth207b has the more complete pthread implementation it requires the installation of the Watt-32 library. Also it may be necessary to recompile the ibrary to get the required functionalities available. Due to the amount of work to get the GLib library working on DOS I have decided that the effort is not worth the result. DOS is and will always be a single user single task OS where all multi-threading efforts are superflous. - The port has been configured to be used as a tool in the DJGPP enviroment, thus all internal path assumptions are done based on the value of the DJDIR environment variable. If it is not set, the tool will not work properly. If you want to use the program as a stand alone tool then you will have to set all its controling environment variables to the appropriate values. - The port has been configured and compiled on WinXP SP3, Win98SE and MSDOS 6.22 with DOSLFN v0.41f. There is no guarantee that this may be possible with any other DOS-like OS. Due to the use of long file names it will not be possible to configure and compile without LFN support. The port has been compiled using gcc346 and bnu2351b. As usual, all djgpp specific files (diffs, README files, etc.) are stored in the "djgpp" directory. The sources have been configured to be build in the "0build" directory. If for some reason it does not work for you, delete its contents and configure from scratch again. Please read the docs to become familiar with this product. Here is an extract of the CHANGES file showing the user visible changes from the last port (pkg-config 0.0.0) to this one: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is the first port. Look at the NEWS file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The port consists of the usual two packages that have been produced using djdev206 (CVS repository code) and can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as (time stamp 2022-10-03): pkg-config 0.23 headers, library and html format documentation: http://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/pkc023b.zip pkg-config 0.23 source: http://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/pkc023s.zip Send pkg-config specific bug reports to .
