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.
