Most recent clone did not find Pkg-config #26

Closed kootenpv closed 7 years ago

Right when I try meson .. in the build/ folder, it shows everything "ok" except for lacking pkg-config.

What can we do about it?

On Arch Linux (using rustup, having installed xi-core)

What exactly does the error message say?

Do you have the base-devel group installed?

Sorry, indeed was trying it on the VM. Thanks for helping me with this unrelated bug to your package.

I was able to install it. I ran it, and I think it might not work on i3. Perhaps more dependencies there. It complained it could not spawn a proces. Maybe because I'm using gcc... I have no idea, but I assume this is too bare of a system for it to work :)

Thanks!

Try running some other GTK+ apps (Gedit for example). If they work but xi-gtk doesn't then it's a bug.

Also make sure you can run the command xi-core without error.
