GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 638801
libxml-2.0.pc incorrectly formatted
Last modified: 2021-07-05 13:26:09 UTC
The file libxml-2.0.pc, used by pkg-config, created during installation has trailing spaces in the Libs.private and Cflags lines. This causes problems when the the cflags are passed to gcc within quotes as the trailing space is taken to be part of the directory name.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
