buildbot failure due to libofx which is missing pkg-config for an unknown reason... :-(

[Marko Käning]

Hi devs,

I was surprised to see that - now that glib2 is building again - suddenly libofx won't be built anymore. 

This is obviously due to a missing pkg-config:
---
.
.
.
checking for pkg-config... no
.
.
.
checking for OpenSP/macros.h… yes
checking for OFX... configure: error: The pkg-config script could not be found or is too old.  Make sure it
is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full
path to pkg-config.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables OFX_CFLAGS
and OFX_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

To get pkg-config, see <http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/>.
See `config.log' for more details.
shell command " cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_Volumes_work_mports_dports_kde_kmymoney/kmymoney/work/kmymoney2-1.0.5" && ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --with-qt-dir=/opt/local/lib/qt3 --without-arts --enable-mac --enable-ofxbanking " returned error 1

What is odd here is that libofx has pkg-config as required, like this:
---
depends_build           path:bin/pkg-config:pkgconfig
---


Indeed one can find in the buildbot log stg like this:
---
.
.
.
DEBUG: activating directory: /opt/local/lib/pkgconfig
.
.
.
---
indicating that some pkgconfig seems to be in the system, although that folder seems only to store the info about installed libs.

So, COULD it be that buildbot itself is the culprit since it has a problem with my above depends_build dependency formulation?

I've no idea what else it could be...

Any other ideas?

Greets,
Marko
