configure fails if /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libtasn1.pc not installed for 1.9.12 build #450

Closed BrianInglis closed 3 years ago

If /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libtasn1.pc is not installed configure of 1.9.12 build fails under Cygwin. Document in INSTALL.md that the appropriate libtasn1 dev/devel package should be installed, or modify or remove check for this requirement if not used directly (by GNUTLS?) for TLS. Environment current Cygwin cygport build using standard GNU toolchain and required devel libraries.

@BrianInglis I checked and the configure script doesn't look for libtasn1 directly, so it must be coming from a GNU TLS dependency. Nothing I can really do about it, and since GNU TLS depends on it I would expect any packages to carry that dependency forward (doesn't sound like Cygwin is doing so...)

You're right, the GNUTLS dependency list is now ridiculous, and what they deem optional seems not to be by autoconf rules.
