As a result of the recent libpng update, emacs won't build. emacs-X11 depends on gdk-pixbuf, and the latter (in its *.pc file) requires libpng14.
And *this* shows the problem with removing libpng14-devel without warning. It's not just gdk-pixbuf2.0; -lpng14 shows up in a few other .pc files (all of which are exclusive to Ports) and *numerous* .la files, and they are now ALL broken because of this change. (Makes me glad to have ridden my system of most .la files, and is YA temptation to change the KEEP_LA_FILES default to "none".)
Chuck, for someone who hates flag days with a passion[1], you have most ironically forced one upon us without warning. Please rectify that by restoring libpng14-devel (with 1.4-versioned files only, of course) ASAP.
I manually changed libpng14 to libpng15 just to allow the build to complete, but I don't know what consequences that might have.
None; you could just remove it entirely if you wanted.
Are you planning a gdk-pixbuf update in the near future?
I hadn't gotten around to the libpng updates yet. Since this is a bigger issue than just gdk-pixbuf, the solution is to restore libpng14-devel in the short term.
