Hi,
during a recent rebuild of all RHEL4 packages in mock, I saw a number of packages which expect pkg-config to be present during the build stage, but do not define it as a BuildRequire.
A short discussion of this issue on #fedora-devel suggested dropping pkg-config into the buildgroups.xml definitions, so that it gets installed by mock in each case.
Comments?
regards, andreas

pkgconfig (the RPM name is pkgconfig and the binary is pkg-config) is quite small and depends _only_ on glibc, so this seems logical to me.

I don't see any problem with that.
anyone object? -sv

Good.

I hope not. ;)
Something else, I forgot: The same goes for '/usr/bin/which'. configure uses it, but it isn't defined as BuildPreReq. I already added a few bugs about this to bugzilla, but the more I think about, the more sense it probably would make to just add it to buildgroups as well.
Again, it is only linked against glibc, so that we won't land in dependency hell.

I've added which and pkgconfig to the buildgroups.xml file.
