wscript looks for playerctl version 1.0, which isn't found even if playerctl is installed #77

Closed Jwpe closed 10 years ago

Jwpe commented 10 years ago

It appears that the mpris widget is trying to rely on a version of playerctl that doesn't exist: 

ctx.check_cfg(package='playerctl-1.0', uselib_store='PLAYERCTL', args=['--cflags', '--libs'], mandatory=False)

As far as I know, the latest version is 0.2.1. I have 0.2.0 installed from the .deb. I tried changing the package in the line above to playerctl and playerctl-0.2.0, but the waf script still doesn't recognise it.

Am I just getting the configuration wrong?

Lokaltog commented 10 years ago

I thought about the same when I merged it, but playerctl provides /usr/lib/pkgconfig/playerctl-1.0.pc on arch so that's why the version is different (waf uses pkg-config to get the include flags). There may be something wrong with the .deb package, e.g. the .pc files may be installed in the wrong location. You can check which (if any) pkg-config files are installed by running dpkg -L playerctl | grep "\.pc".

Closing this as it's not a candybar issue, if you can't resolve it you should report it to @acrisci.

Yeah 0.2.1 is required for building with playerctl. I'll make a debian package and post it to the latest release in a bit.

@Lokaltog thanks, that makes sense. @acrisci cool!
