ExtUtils::MakeMaker and module version

frazap has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

When I run perl Makefile.PL for the Glib perl module, I received a message

"Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.24.0' but version of glib-2.0 is 2.16.5"
[download]

As far as I'm award my PKG_CONFIG_PATH does not include any glib-2.0 of version 2.24 And

pkg-config glib-2.0 --modversion
2.16.5
[download]

Which is the version I would like to build.

Where does that 2.24 requirement comes from ?

Thanks

François

Well at the end, I found that PerlMakefile.PL was testing `if (ExtUtils::PkgConfig->atleast_version ('glib-2.0', '2.24.0')) {...}` [download] With 2.16.0 the test fails but that confusing message is given anyway. Thanks F.	[reply] [d/l]
