CentOS8 build fail: configure: error: "Please install libdhash-devel"

[minfrin]

On CentOS8 the sssd-master build fails as follows:

checking for DHASH... no
configure: error: "Please install libdhash-devel"

The package libdhash-devel does not exist in CentOS8.

Seems so: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/

But why do you open ticket against SSSD? SSSD uses this library and headers are required.

RHEL8 has this package: libdhash-devel-0.5.0-39.el8

That's a question to CentOS policy.

[minfrin]

I opened it here because the sssd build says "Please install libdhash-devel". If the name of the package has changed, then the sssd needs to be updated to reflect that.

[alexey-tikhonov]

It is not changed, it is missing on CentOS 8.

For anyone else whose google leads them this way, CentOS source RPMs are available below. Ignore the stuff about vault being old.
