Date: Fri, 16 May 2014 13:01:23 +0200 From: "Jan D." <address@hidden> Why is pkg-config a requirement on OSX?Are you sure it is needed for building Emacs, and not just for running autogen.sh/aclocal in order to produce the configure script when building out of the repository?
It is requred for that also, but pkg-config is run in configure also.
The latter is indeed new, and is because configure.ac now calls a macro that is defined by pkg.m4, which comes with pkg-config.
Yes, I saw those undefined macros (I think it was three) when trying to build without pkg-config after tweaking autogen.sh.
I built pkg-config from source, but having pkg-config as a requirement form some macros must mean those macros are important. What are they?
