sysdeps-3.8: depend on libpng.pc, not libpng15.pc (924 bytes, patch)
2013-01-28 06:02 UTC, Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 		committed Details | Review

Description Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 2013-01-28 05:56:27 UTC 
jhbuild currently has three sysdeps that are impossible to satisfy on the latest stable release of Ubuntu:

    libpng (libpng15.pc)
    soundtouch (soundtouch-1.4.pc, required=0)
    libicu (icu-i18n.pc, required=4)


The libicu thing is an Ubuntu bug and it's easy enough to work around it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/icu/+bug/1037588

Meanwhile, Ubuntu has libpng12 and soundtouch-1.6 which installs a file called 'soundtouch.pc'.

It's worth noting that libpng12 installs libpng.pc as an alias, so we should probably just change that over.  Maybe the same for soundtouch?
Comment 1 Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 2013-01-28 05:59:52 UTC 
Fedora has the same symlink for libpng.so, so I think that one is indeed an obvious fix.

Meanwhile, it has libSoundTouch.pc, soundtouch-1.0.pc, soundtouch-1.4.pc but not libsoundtouch.pc, so .... hrmph.

sysdeps-3.8: depend on libpng.pc, not libpng15.pc

libpng installs a libpng.pc symlink pointing at the current version and
it turns out that we don't actually specifically depend on libpng15.

Sounds right to me.

Comment 5 Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 2013-01-28 15:36:26 UTC 
oops.
Comment 6 Javier Jardón (IRC: jjardon) 2013-01-30 11:35:10 UTC 
soundtocuh dependency can be removed as totem uses scaletempo plugin now instead (which is in gst-plugins-good)
Comment 7 Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 2013-01-31 08:48:12 UTC 
It looks like the gst-plugins themselves depend on it, though...
Comment 8 Javier Jardón (IRC: jjardon) 2013-02-20 11:13:54 UTC 
gst-plugins-bad depends on it. But its an optional dependency

I think we can close this bug for now, feel free to reopen if you find more issues
