lmdb: Add a package config file

Reported by: marka63 Owned by: ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version:
Keywords: Cc:
Port: lmdb

Description

Many/most Linux distros have created such a config file as the upstream has not done so. The lack means the presence of lmdb is not discovered by packages which use pkg-config to detect the presence of lmdb.

Would it be possible to create and install such a file?

Summary: There is no package config file for lmdblmdb: Add a package config file

Yes, that is theoretically possible. If you or someone else would like to add this to our port, you can submit a patch here or a pull request on GitHub. This port has no maintainer so nobody is actively looking after it.

Adding a pkg-config file technically falls under the category of developing and improving the lmdb software, and that's not our responsibility. You should report this bug/feature request to the developers of lmdb (and add the link to it here, if possible). When they implement this change and publish a new version of lmdb, MacPorts and other package managers can update to it. This will ensure that every user gets the same lmdb regardless of how they install it.

Since the latest version of lmdb still doesn't install a pkg-config .pc file, and since I could not find a bug report about it, I have now filed one: https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9457
