Re: [Gnash-dev] Incorrect message when AGG is old...

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

   Sometime in the past we had a "compatibility" layer to support at
   least 2.4.  Did you try commenting out the nogo=true after the echo
   lines ?

I tried this as a quick fix when trying to compile gnash, but it
didn't work.

   The whole issue has roots in AGG author having messed up with
   versions between 2.4 and 2.5 ... (ie: there are 2.4 versions out
   there which just work).

The root cause is infact in gnash's configure.ac, which does the Wrong
Thing(TM); one should never ever check for a specific version of a
library, one should check for specific functionality that one depends
on.

What functionality does gnash depend on that exists in some versions
of libagg?
