Summary |
0005169: glib2 depends on pcre for building |
Description |
There is a very common ./configure error that indicates a failure of glib2, when it is actually installed, with the -dev.
The logfile shows the real error is:
Package 'libpcre', required by 'GLib', not found
So basically, I think CSWlibglib2-dev should have a dependency on CSWlibpcre-dev to make sure it's usable. |
Additional Information |
Technically not a huge deal, but highly frustrating, particularly for newcomers. |
