Description Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-05-13 11:55:58 UTC
checking for libnotify... no
checking for libcanberra_gtk... no
checking for libindicate... no
checking for CM_NP_HOTKEY... yes


configure.ac uses a rather haphazard way of finding libindicate (and probably other libraries / .pc files as well. It tries indicate-0.5 while I happen to have 0.7, yet the package version is called "12.10.1".

But never mind that, it could call PKG_CHECK_MODULES every time and then work with the variables that are thereby set. However, it often tries PKG_CHECK_EXISTS first, which is kind of a duplicate effort.

When it then doesn't find what it's looking for, it doesn't bail out but merrily continues on its way without compiling in support for libindicate. I think the same is true for libcanberra and perhaps a few other libs.

Any short-term solution?  Otherwise I have to discuss at length with upstream.

Is this still the case for 3.13.2?

This version is long gone from the tree.
