RHEL/Centos 7, Heimdal package is not found

[atomicturtle]

This had been an issue in 1.0.2 as well, and a patch for 1.0.2 was posted to the mailing list. Given the changes in 1.0.3 this approach is no longer compatible.

Note that the following 7.5 heimdal packages are available from the EPEL repo:

[root@c7-64-dev-scott openvas-smb-1.0.3]# rpm -qa |grep heimdal
heimdal-devel-7.5.0-1.el7.x86_64
heimdal-libs-7.5.0-1.el7.x86_64

In contrast to e.g. the gnutls packages required in the openvas-smb CMakeLists.txt the referenced heimdal-devel packages are not pkgconfig aware.

Solving this might be a matter of contact the maintainer of the heimdal-devel packages to get pkgconfig support within this packages and the build should work without any custom modifications.

Not related to openvas-smb dev. Please check with the relevant heimdal-devel packagers.

For the those arriving via goole, an issue has been raised in the upstream project heimdal/heimdal#765 for this. There's also a downstream bug in RedHat's bugzilla to cover the packaging fix for this.
