| Summary | 0002731: Configure failure for libsub | ||||
| Description | On Arch we encountered a weird bug. The bug is triggered during the config phase of libsub. When a lib pc file with weird non ascii characters is installed (in the case of Arch it is libvpl which contains the (R) symbol), the wscript fails with the attached error. The issue is when the output of pkg-config --list-all is parsed. This command prints the name and description field from the pc files, and in the case of libvpl the description contains the (R) symbol. The failure then occurs when pkg.decode('utf-8') is called. Please find attached the vpl.pc file which contains the offending character and a patch which resolves the issue for my setup. Best regards, | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Move the vpl.pc file to the pkgconfig directory | ||||
| Additional Information | configure error: Setting top to : /home/benjamin/Programme/libsub | ||||
