[csw-devel] Some packages are missing the .pc-Files

[Christian Walther]

Hi,

a few days ago I tried to compile Firefox 3.0b5 on Solaris 10/Sparc.
To make messing with dependencies easier for me, I downloaded the
current firefox2 blastwave package and gave configure a try.
It fails while trying to locate some pkgconfig-files - or the files it
found belonged to older packages, e.g. from /usr/sfw. I adjusted
PKG_CONFIG_PATH so that pkgconfig would search in
/opt/csw/lib/pkgconfig, but still no luck.
It turned out that some Blastwave packages obviously are missing the .pc files.
I checked this for gtk+-2.0.pc and for dbus-glib. The problem is that
the configure script terminates on every missing .pc-file.

Are these files missing intentionally, or should I file a bug report
for both packages?

Here's pkginfo -l on both packages:
