Description Patrice Dumas 2006-10-10 07:17:03 UTC 
Description of problem:

libXmu-devel should depend on pkgconfig. 

And also configure generated by 
PKG_CHECK_MODULES(BMTOA, x11 xmu)
in a configure.ac fails if libXext-devel isn't installed
explicitely (but libXmu-devel is). So I think libXmu-devel 
should depend on libXext-devel, or the .pc file should be
changed, since I guess this dependency comes from:
Requires.private: x11 xt xext

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

libXmu-devel-1.0.2-5

Comment 1 Kristian Høgsberg 2006-10-13 19:47:59 UTC 
Dependency on pkg-config added in rawhide.  However, libXmu-devel shouldn't
doesn't depend on libXext-devel as far as I can see.  ldd /usr/lib/libXmu gives

[krh@dinky devel]$ ldd /usr/lib/libXmu.so.6.2.0 
        ...
        libXext.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x00dcf000)
        ...

which means that rpm automatically pulls in libXext as a dependency of libXmu.
However pkg-config --libs xmu gives:

[krh@dinky devel]$ pkg-config --libs xmu
-lXmu -lXt -lX11  

which means that libXext-devel is not a build time dependency for applications
using libXmu-devel.  Furthermore, libXext-devel doesn't install any header files.
Comment 2 Patrice Dumas 2006-10-13 23:09:21 UTC 
Here is the pkg-config invocation that fails:

[dumas@localhost ~]$ pkg-config --exists --print-errors "x11 xmu"
Package xext was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xext.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'xext', required by 'Xmu', not found
[dumas@localhost ~]$ echo $?
1


So even though it doesn't show it, it needs it.
Comment 3 Kristian Høgsberg 2006-10-16 18:56:52 UTC 
Ah, yes.  OK, 'Requires: libXext-devel' added to libXmu-devel.  It's a
low-impact fix though (if you're doing X development, you probably have libXext
installed), so I'm just going to build it for rawhide (i.e. to be fc7).
Comment 4 Patrice Dumas 2006-10-24 08:43:42 UTC 
Not that low-impact, since this issue shows up in mock. It forces
all the packages which depends on Xaw to add a dependency although
they don't depend directly on Xext.
