problems configuring 0.2.106 & libancient #108

Closed tsr closed 1 year ago

tsr commented 1 year ago

Hi all,

i just wanted to compile and upgrade to 0.2.106, then while running ./configure i had problems with letting it detect libancient:

checking for libancient... no
configure: error: libancient not found

As i use Gentoo where currently there is no official package of libancient, i compiled and installed it myself with version 2.1.1 (i hope https://github.com/temisu/ancient is the correct libancient required?). Now libancient resides in /usr/local/lib/ (where /usr/local/lib/libancient.a, /usr/local/lib/libancient.la, /usr/local/lib/libancient.so, /usr/local/lib/libancient.so.2, /usr/local/lib/libancient.so.2.0.1 are).

But somehow ./configure won't detect it. Is there something i'm missing? I also already ran env-update & ldconfig to be sure. The ancient CLI-tool also works.

Thanks for your help!

You probably need to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH, so that pkg-config can find libancient.pc

If you make an overlay to gentoo system, you should make an ebuild for both ancient and open cubic player. Many years since used Gentoo

Ohh thank you. PKG_CONFIG_PATH was indeed missing. Was too lazy to create ebuilds yet, because ocp didn't update that often and was fine with plain config & make. :) But i might indeed consider it, especially because of the now existing dependency.

Anyway for everyone else stumbling on this, just run the following and ./configure of ocp should be fine: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/ (libancient.pc should be already in this path)
