The next FC development package will have this .pc file included, and it has now
been updated to the final 1.5 release too. If you could try it out and tell me
if it looks okay, I could then backport the package to FC4.

You mean the one from extras-development repo? I can test it after it's released.

Yes, it's the js-1.5-1.fc5 build, which should appear after the next push happens.

Hmm, I have downloaded js and js-devel. I had to install them with nodeps swithc
due to unsatisfied dependencies with perl and libc.so.6 (the latter is actually
present on my system). The gxine build has failed:

I'll ask in the xine mailing list.

Well, the pkgconfig file seems to be broken. It most probably should have
something after -I.

Here is the patch by Darren Salt:

Major boo-boo on my part indeed, thanks for spotting this! I'll push a fixed
rebuild for FC development now.

Everything works now, you can backport it to fc4 now.

Backported, built, and now available!
