| 06:51.56 | tupone | blast007: for curses we should use the pkg-config, the curses.m4, if needed, should be revisited (IIRC) |
| 06:53.28 | tupone | the previous method did not detect the need of an extra library from ncurses |
| 06:54.14 | tupone | something like libtinfo.so |
| 10:06.43 | blast007 | what platform is that an issue with? |
| 10:28.33 | tupone | I remember a bug issued on gentoo by someone. |
| 10:33.45 | tupone | https://bugs.gentoo.org/632022 I think this was |
| 10:34.49 | blast007 | what's the point of having two separate ncurses libraries installed? |
| 10:35.42 | blast007 | ah, some proprietary software that depends on a different version? |
| 10:36.35 | blast007 | if the pkg-config method was *optional* and didn't change any behavior otherwise, I'm fine with having it uses pkg-config when available |
| 10:36.51 | blast007 | but I don't want pkg-config nor ncurses to be a hard dependency to build any part of BZFlag |
| 10:37.14 | blast007 | the way it was, without pkg-config or ncurses, you can't even build the game server |
| 17:32.05 | tupone | Most of the builds (from source) depends on pkg-config on Linux |
| 17:41.27 | blast007 | that seems less relevant on a binary-based distribution |
| 17:42.48 | blast007 | note that I'm specifically saying that I'm okay with allowing pkg-config in your autotools systems. I just don't want it to be required. |
| 17:45.12 | blast007 | the SDL2.m4 already uses pkg-config, but gracefully falls back to the old way if the system doesn't have pkg-config. |
| 17:45.47 | blast007 | macOS also doesn't have pkg-config by default |
