Subject: Should configure fail if pkg-config fails?
Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2012 16:58:49 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAPHS2gy0KLfp-vG2GR0FF36s-K3-Nuc8Mwd7jivM0Bq3hCv3BQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Today while trying to build the Emacs 24 alpha, I discovered that I
had messed up some things in my local Debian system and pkg-config was
failing. I didn't notice this until I was well into the build system.
The configure script didn't immediately report that something was
wrong, and didn't exit with nonzero status.
Shouldn't the configure script emit a clear warning if pkg-config fails?
Thanks,
- Jordi G. H.
