Trying to run ./bootstrap on Ubuntu 18, I get an error:

root@dst1:~/varnish-modules# ./bootstrap
Package varnishapi was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `varnishapi.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

I have the following packages:

root@dst1:~/varnish-modules# dpkg -l | grep varnish
ii  libvarnishapi-dev               5.2.1-1                                     amd64        development files for Varnish
ii  libvarnishapi1                  5.2.1-1                                     amd64        shared libraries for Varnish
ii  varnish                         5.2.1-1                                     amd64        state of the art, high-performance web accelerator

And my Varnish is at 5.2.1:

root@dst1:~/varnish-modules# varnishd -V
varnishd (varnish-5.2.1 revision 67e562482)
Copyright (c) 2006 Verdens Gang AS
Copyright (c) 2006-2015 Varnish Software AS

Are there some more detailed installation instructions out there for Ubuntu?

Also, I couldn't find the file requested:

root@dst1:~/varnish-modules# locate varnishapi.pc
root@dst1:~/varnish-modules#

Hi @jnthnclrk,

Varnish-Software does not provide varnish-cache 5.2.1 packages for bionic, only for trusty. Our packages are called: varnish and varnish-dev at https://packagecloud.io/varnishcache/varnish52/ (Your packages are from another vendor)

I tried to build Varnish-Cache from source, branch 5.2 and varnish-modules went fine with it.
Also with our varnish-cache 5.2.1 packages from packagecloud it was ok.

Since I recommend you to install new Varnish Cache packages, take a look at the 6.0 Long Term Support repo, which has packages for bionic: https://packagecloud.io/varnishcache/varnish60lts

curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/varnishcache/varnish60lts/script.deb.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt-get install varnish-dev=6.0.3-1~bionic

I think we have it working. Another developer helped me out. Judging by the history, I think he managed to get ./bootstrap and ./configure working with this repo.
