libconfuse2

configure: error: Package requirements (libconfuse >= 2.7) were not met:

No package 'libconfuse' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables confuse_CFLAGS
and confuse_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

---- my system is ubuntu 18.04

I run Ubuntu 19.04:

What version of Merecat are you using? Building from the latest GIT master seems to work for me. (Yeah, it's been a while since the last release. I haven't had time to finalize and test the new HTTPS and multiple server support. Sorry)

I tried to compile it from the git version on Ubuntu 18.04 (not 19.. that was a typo)

OK, I've found an 18.04 install now and tested building Merecat from the lastet git master. Works there too:

...
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for confuse... yes
...

Maybe your system is missing pkg-config?

[Zibri]

nope.
$ pkg-config --version
0.29.1

[Zibri]

after ./autogen.sh
I did ./configure

the same works on ubuntu desktop 17.10

[Zibri]

clearly there is something missing in ubuntu server 18.04 not directly your fault.. but the server was cleanly installed... I have no clue

[troglobit]

Yeah, probably. Have you tried reinstalling the libconfuse-dev package and verify that the contents of /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/libconfuse.pc says:

...
Name: confuse
Version: 3.2.1
...

Maybe I can find something more if you attach the config.log file ...

[troglobit]

Ping?

[troglobit]

I'm pretty sure I found it, finally.
