Description James Henstridge 2005-04-13 08:18:03 UTC 
The PKG_CHECK_MODULES() macro in the newer versions of pkg-config cache the
results of pkg-config runs based on the variable prefix.

The eog configure script contains the following:
    PKG_CHECK_MODULES(EXIF, libexif >= $LIBEXIF_REQUIRED, have_exif=yes,
have_exif=no)
    PKG_CHECK_MODULES(EXIF, libexif = $LIBEXIF_REQUIRED, have_old_libexif=yes,
have_old_libexif=no)

The second PKG_CHECK_MODULES() call gives an unexpected result, due to the
caching behaviour.  I managed to work around the problem by changing the second
occurence from "PKG_CHECK_MODULES(EXIF, ..." to "PKG_CHECK_MODULES(OLDEXIF, ..."

this is a pkg-config issue and is fixed in pkg-config 0.18.1. closing.
