Can't locate expat

[xzaz]

I have a build issue:

Dependency libcshquote-1 found: YES 1.1.0 (overridden)
Dependency libcstdaux-1 found: YES 1.5.0 (overridden)
Library m found: YES
Run-time dependency threads found: YES
Run-time dependency expat found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake)

Further logging:

meson.build:75:8: ERROR: Dependency "expat" not found, tried pkgconfig and cmake

calling pkg-config:

/usr/bin/pkg-config --modversion expat
Package expat was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `expat.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'expat' found

Now i want to find expat.pc but can't find it while it is installed trough apt. Any ideas what I am missing? Something obvious I guess.

Yhe, so fixed with

apt-get install libexpat1-dev

Thanks for the report! I will close it as fixed!
