Eelco Dolstra 56ea7df62d * Several buildInputs of Gnome-related packages should be ... propagatedBuildInputs, because those inputs are required by the *.pc or *.la files of the package: - If a *.pc file references a non-propagated input, then Gnome packages have the bad tendency to silently ignore this problem in configure scripts - the failure of a command like `pkg-config --cflags foo' will be ignored if a dependency of foo.pc is missing, so no flags will be added, and the build will fail later on a missing header or library. - If a *.la file references a non-propagated input, the build will also fail, because Libtool will add library dependencies that it cannot find. (Arguably *.la files should never reference packages that aren't in the corresponding *.pc file, but they do it anyway). By setting the propagatedBuildInputs properly, it should be possible to get rid of all the NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE / NIX_LDFLAGS hacks in the Gnome expressions. svn path=/nixpkgs/branches/xorg-7.5/; revision=18084		2009-11-03 23:26:14 +00:00
