Description James Henstridge 2005-04-13 08:42:41 UTC
This is caused by a bug in the new pkg-config, but I thought you might want to
know about it since it affects epiphany, and can be worked around simply.

The relevant pkg-config bug report is here:
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3006

It is caused by a repeated name in the list passed to PKG_CHECK_MODULES().  Here
is a patch that works around the bug:

The pkg-config bug will affect people building the epiphany tarball, if they
have pkg-config-0.17.1 installed (possibly also 0.16 or 0.17 too -- I haven't
checked them).

Thanks for the patch! Applied to HEAD and gnome-2-10 branch.
