Problem
ecasound is configured by search a given list of prefix for essential files to derive
CPPFLAGS
,LIBS
andINCLUDE_DIR
as there is no pkg-config support for it.A comment from configure.ac deocuments this
But on systems where things are installed in non default prefixes (f.e. nixos where everyhing is stored under
/nix
) this does not work.Sollution
ecasound comes with a tool
libecasoundc-config
which beaves exactly like pkg-config but as its own tool and not as a.pc
file.This PR changes the
configure.ac
and replaces the scripted search by utilizing that tool.Note
Have only tested this under linux x64 on nixos.
