#pkgconf — Public Fediverse posts

  1. i have added a #muon build to #pkgconf CI. the goal of this is to allow us to begin thinking about deprecating the autotools-based build system.

    this won't happen until next year, most likely, but muon is sufficiently complete at this point that i think it solves the bootstrapping problem enough that we can start thinking about getting rid of the autotools stuff, probably in pkgconf 3.1 or so.

  2. Trying to wrap my head around the #libtool and #pkgconf vs pkg-config situation. What is going on?
    Why is libtool bad, what is wrong with .la files, what does libtool do that pkgconf doesn't, and what does pkg-config do that neither of them do??
    If anyone seeing this has dealt/is dealing with this linking/tooling situation I'd love to hear your thoughts :) Very curious.
