Presenting GNOME 2.12 for FreeBSD. The release is chock full of bug fixes
and new features. Don't believe me? Then see for yourself at http://www.gnome.org/start/2.12/notes/en/. DO NOT USE portupgrade by itself to upgrade to GNOME 2.12. Instead, use the gnome_upgrade.sh script from http://www.marcuscom.com/downloads/gnome_upgrade212.sh. This script will circumvent some potential pitfalls users can see if they use portupgrade by itself. In keeping with tradition, GNOME 2.12 for FreeBSD comes with a special splash screen. The winner of this release's contest is Dominique Goncalves <dominique.goncalves@gmail.com>. His splash screen was inspired by http://art.gnome.org/contests/2.12-splash/83. The FreeBSD GNOME Team would lank to thank the following users for their contributions to this release: Matthew Luckie <mjl@luckie.org.nz> ade sajd on #freebsd-gnome Caelian on #freebsd-gnome mnag Yasuda Keisuke <kysd@po.harenet.ne.jp> Mark Hobden <markhobden@gmail.com> Sergey Akifyev <asa@agava.com> Andreas Kohn For more information on GNOME on FreeBSD, checkout http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/. The 2.12 documentation will be posted shortly.

The pkg-config program is used to retrieve information about installed

+or more libraries. It's more useful to the compilation process than to
+the end-user.
pkg-config retrieves information about packages from special metadata files.
These files are named after the package, with the extension .pc. By default,
-pkg-config looks in the following directories: ${PREFIX}/libdata/pkgconfig,
-${LOCALBASE}/libdata/pkgconfig and ${X11BASE}/libdata/pkgconfig for these
-files; it will also look in the list of directories specified by the
-PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable.

-The package name specified on the pkg-config command line is defined to be the
-name of the metadata file, minus the .pc extension. If a library can install
-multiple versions simultaneously, it must give each version its own name (for
-example, GTK 1.2 might have the package name "gtk+" while GTK 2.0 has
-"gtk+-2.0").
