Broken zlib detection on OpenSUSE #519

Closed stefan6419846 closed 5 months ago

stefan6419846 commented 5 months ago

I tried to build the package on OpenSUSE 15.4, but for some reasons I got told:

checking for library containing gzgets... no configure: error: HTMLDOC requires zlib.

After changing the offending line of configure.ac from https://github.com/michaelrsweet/htmldoc/blob/055acba8778702eb06ba3de8dd208efabccde92a/configure.ac#L236 to

AS_IF([$PKGCONFIG --exists zlib], [

and regenerating the configure script, everything worked fine afterwards.

Not every OS uses pkg-config, so we need to use the AC_SEARCH_LIBS if there is no zlib package file.
