Package: irssi

(Please note: tested patch included below explanation).

On my build system, Red Hat 7.1 (updated), My build stalls at irssi when it
can't find the required version of glib.
It offers to download, but this requires interaction, so the build, going
on in the background, stalls. The real
problem seems to be that the bbc Makefile doesn't set GLIB_CONFIG, so the
build uses the version of
glib-config from the host system, which in my case is too different (and
less recent) from the bbc version to succeed.
Note that although the problem only shows itself on such a system, it is
genuinely a build problem, which happens
to be masked on build systems sufficiently similar to lnx-bbc. I've
encountered, and submitted patches for this problem
on other packages, so it seems to me it might be worth setting globally so
that all packages requiring glib can take
advantage...


Patch that works for me (cvs diff) (Note: I've tested this with path hard
coded to one on my system. I think using DESTDIR
as below will work and is the right generalization, but I haven't yet test
it. Please check for reasonablenes, and check in if
it makes sense.):
