Hi Bill,

Have you considered building on snow - just asking out of curiosity? Perhaps a gambit only approach.

Regards,

Kashyap,

I plan to use OS's package managers (macports, dpkg, rpm, ebuilds, etc).  It's slightly annoying repetition, but I have no interest in making yet another make/package manager.

I am curious to know what packages you have so far and where do you / or plan to host them?

I was wondering if it would be a good idea to have a github repo that would contain all the packages. In addition perhaps a set of "gsi" scripts for doing the package management?

Regarding pkg-config - I think it may not be a good dependency to buy into, for the reasons David mentioned (obviously the reason becomes stronger if you add windows to the mix :) ).

Regards,

Kashyap

I kind of hate pkg-config. Well not kind of, rather a lot actually. pretty much any packages that I have trouble building use it. it seems like a nice idea, but it doesn't seem to be sufficiently standardized to actually work well across distros (and even versions of the same distro)

I'm looking to make packages for Gambit-related projects of mine, and I noticed Arch linux in particular renames gsc and gsi to other names.  Is there a way for an external project to query gsc's and gsi's new names?

If not, I think Gambit should use pkg-config https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pkg-config

I have made a patch off of master (attached) which solves my immediate problems.

Please let me know what you think.

Bill
