Is this a bug? (libdrm_radeon.pc.in)

[DanL]

libdrm.pc.in uses a @PACKAGE_VERSION@ variable (macro?) and the generated libdrm.pc has the correct version (2.4.17).

Meanwhile, libdrm_radeon.pc.in (and intel/nouveau) uses a hard-coded, outdated version, and the resulting .pc file retains that. So after you build and install libdrm..

pkg-config --modversion libdrm_radeon 
1.0.1

..and then when you try and build latest mesa (which requires libdrm_radeon 2.4.17):

checking for LIBDRM_RADEON... no

Is this a bug worth reporting? It's easy enough to work around by editing the installed libdrm_radeon.pc file (in /usr/lib/pkgconfig/ on my system) I looked on freedesktop bugs for libdrm_radeon, but only saw one (unrelated) bug. If it is a bug, please fix it or report it for me (I'm tired of registering for 200 different bug forums) :\

Thanks

..and then when you try and build latest mesa (which requires libdrm_radeon 2.4.17):

checking for LIBDRM_RADEON... no

PKG_CHECK_MODULES([LIBDRM_RADEON], [libdrm_radeon libdrm >= $LIBDRM_RADEON_REQUIRED], HAVE_LIBDRM_RADEON=yes, HAVE_LIBDRM_RADEON=no)

Only the version of libdrm is tested; libdrm_radeon is just checked for existence.

Edit: to clarify: mesa itself works with older libdrm (2.4.15); however in order to use the new API it requires that libdrm_radeon is installed and libdrm is >= 2.4.17.
The message above may be confusing since it refers to libdrm_radeon but in reality it checks two conditions.
