Could not find libgcrypt libraries

[TheCheddarCheese]

When trying to compile on EndeavourOS I get this error:

CMake Error at cmake/Modules/FindLibGcrypt.cmake:49 (message):
  Could not find libgcrypt libraries
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  libgrive/CMakeLists.txt:5 (find_package)

I also tried this on a clean chroot, same thing. libcrypt is installed and up to date.

same problem... me too... You must be very busy, but sincerely, please tell me a solution to the problem.

I didn't find one yet sadly. I think the devs might need to fix it (or i can try to but considering my current coding skills i probably won't manage it)

[TheCheddarCheese]

Try editing cmake/Modules/FindLibGcrypt.cmake and replacing libgcrypt-config with pkg-config (in the line FIND_PROGRAM(LIBGCRYPTCONFIG_EXECUTABLE NAMES libgcrypt-config) ), then build. Dunno how well this will work though

I've found that Arch no longer includes the libgcrypt-config executable in the libgcrypt package. I don't know whether or not that is by design, but that seems to be the cause of this breakage.

The solution here may be to look for libgcrypt using pkg-config in libgrive CMakeLists.txt instead of the custom Module, like

diff --git a/libgrive/CMakeLists.txt b/libgrive/CMakeLists.txt
