Hi, For instance, libfontconfig-dev depends on pkgconf. It makes me hesitate to add a(n explicit) dependency on pkgconf in the control file of a packaging that depends libfontconfig-dev. but not on pkgconf. It seems to require the pkg-config command regarding the folllowing extract of its .build file: -- Found PkgConfig: /usr/bin/pkg-config (found version "1.8.1") -- Checking for module 'libzstd' -- Found libzstd, version 1.5.6 -- Checking for module 'sdl2' -- Found sdl2, version 2.30.8 -- Checking for module 'freetype2' -- Found freetype2, version 26.2.20 -- Checking for module 'fluidsynth>=2.1.0' -- Found fluidsynth, version 2.3.6
That is not clear to me why certain -dev depends on pkconf whereas (a lot of) others with a .pc file don't. Regards, Patrice
