BUG: lincity-ng-1.1.0 missing pkgconfig dependency

[putte_xvi@…]

The configure script for lincity-ng (1.1.0) checks for pkgconfig, but it isn't listed as a dependency, so installation fails if it isn't already installed.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

True. If I try to install lincity-ng 1.10_0 without pkgconfig active, I get this:

$ sudo port install lincity-ng

I would expect people wouldn't actually run into this problem in practice, since lincity-ng depends on libsdl_mixer which depends on libvorbis which depends on pkgconfig. Still, lincity-ng should itself declare its dependency on pkgconfig.

Fixed with r32635.
