Cannot build pulseview

[pagaille]

Hi there,

I can't build pulse view on el capitan. I tried the usual troubleshooting (brew doctor, ...) but no success. Here is the command line output :

$ brew install pulseview

$ echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH

I also tried with

$ echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
/opt/X11/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/Cellar/libsigrok/0.4.0/lib/pkgconfig/libsigrokcxx.pc

Since

$ pkg-config --libs libsigrokcxx
Package libsigrokcxx was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libsigrokcxx.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libsigrokcxx' found'

Thanks for helping

Still investigating. There is something wrong in the way brew tries to install things, at least on my config.

[rene-dev]

did you try to install head? also, --debug will give you more info

Thanks rene,

I succeeded. Indeed, I had to install HEAD and also had to reinstall libsigrok from your tap.

Thanks !
