Feature Request - use pkgconfig to detect build dependencies #450
Comments
|
Hi Peter, pkgconfig would require to be present which is not true on all systems. |
|
I have happily left autotools behind and don't particularly want to go back to that to be honest. I understand that you want to run on as many platforms as possibly, but maybe it was worth considering moving to something more flexible than the current situation? |
|
If you look at the configure script - its not autotools, its a custom small shell script. if you want pkgconfig for hydra - we will be happy to include it. but you (or somebody else) will have to send the pull request for it :) |

Ah, I misunderstood you. I thought you meant that you only wanted autotools. The configure script is straight-forward. I'll take a look at supporting pkgconfig in the near future unless somebody beats me to it. |

Hello everyone please help me |


Currently
configureassumes that all build dependencies are located in a fixed set of locations. Ideally use pkgconfig (which is needed for gtk anyway) to detect the dependencies so arbitrary dependency locations are supported.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
