Jan-

Thanks again. Now we know that it's not just hiding somewhere we didn't expect.

Peter / anyone else who understands autotools-

Is there a way that we can set up configure such that is looks for the pkg-config first, but falls back to the gdlib-config style configuration if pkg-config fails?

Thanks,

--Chad

It should be possible; it is basically just bash scripting at this point.

Can do the pkgconfig test first, if that falls - run pretty match the the old code which Dan removed when switching to pkg-config.

I think this is an acceptable compromise, but I definitely want to keep the pkg-config based test first.

Peter

Hi guys,

thank you for looking into this.
While implementing this fallback mechanism would definitely solve that problem,
I do not think it is worth the effort given the fact that user base of running
Solaris as a desktop OS is pretty minimal (and further shrinking).
As long as there is a reasonable way to build pcb on Solaris (and apparently
there is one), I am fine with the current state of things.

Thanks again,
Jan
