Try with pkgconfig 0.23, it works with the new libtool. > ((Also, are there any non-angstrom distros still left in OE, besides > SlugOS?

I seriously want to revitalize the 'minimal' distro, that's why I have started to do some (invasive) work on improving / updating default versions. As much as I love Angstrom, I think it is dangerous only to depend on one -- relatively complex -- distribution, since this hides all kinds of bugs in our metadata. Since my time slots to work on that is also pretty limited, I'd be very glad if I could get some people on board to work towards this common goal: Providing a distribution with minimal policies and default settings that serves as a starting point for new distros. Can I count on you? -- :M:
