gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders binary path not included in pkgconfig file

[Alberto Ruiz]

The gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders binary path is supposed to be reported in the .pc file variable gdk_pixbuf_query_loaders so that it can be queried:

$ pkg-config --variable=gdk_pixbuf_query_loaders gdk-pixbuf-2.0
/usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders

However in Ubuntu the binary is in /usr/lib/`gcc -dumpmachine`/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders

This poses a challenge to build scripts for pixbuf loaders as they need to adapt to this distro-specific paths.

Thanks, indeed Debian moves that file to a versioned location to avoid conflict between api versions but the .pc should be updated to reflect that, I proposed a fix for it on https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gdk-pixbuf/-/merge_requests/3 now

[Alberto Ruiz (alberto.ruiz)]

Awesome! Thanks seb!

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the fix has been uploaded to Debian now https://tracker.debian.org/news/1349533/accepted-gdk-pixbuf-2428dfsg-2-source-into-unstable/ and will autosync to Ubuntu later today

[Alberto Ruiz (alberto.ruiz)]

Thanks Seb!

Any chance this will land on Jammy at some point?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Yes, I think that's an ok candidate to cherry pick as a stable update

[Alberto Ruiz (alberto.ruiz)]

Great stuff, that'll allow me to fix my meson scripts upstream and run my Github Actions pipeline.

Again, thanks a lot for taking care of this Seb, always a pleasure!
