I'm trying to build libiphone from source on Debian Squeeze (64-bit). But autogen.sh keeps giving me this:
configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.14.1) were not met:
No package 'glib-2.0' 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 libglib2_CFLAGS
and libglib2_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
I assume it's referring to libglib2.0-dev (there is no package 'glib-2.0'), which I already installed (version 2.30.2-6) as instructed by the README. Just for the hell of it, I also installed glibc-2.11-1, libglib2.0-0, libglib2.0-dev, and libglibmm-2.4-dev, to no avail. I tried running autogen.sh as root.
So basically autogen.sh is lying, because I have every conceivable glib library installed, every single one of them is >= 2.14.1, and I installed all of them from the official Debian repository. Could someone please help me figure out what's going on here?
Edit:
It turns out autogen.sh just does some minor setting-up and then runs configure. I went through configure and found the following possibly relevant lines:
In a comment titled "Some influential environment variables":
libglib2_CFLAGS
C compiler flags for libglib2, overriding pkg-config
In the code itself:
pkg_failed=no
{ $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: checking for libglib2" >&5
$as_echo_n "checking for libglib2... " >&6; }
if test -n "$libglib2_CFLAGS"; then
pkg_cv_libglib2_CFLAGS="$libglib2_CFLAGS"
elif test -n "$PKG_CONFIG"; then
if test -n "$PKG_CONFIG" && \
{ { $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: \$PKG_CONFIG --exists --
($PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "glib-2.0 >= 2.14.1") 2>&5
ac_status=$?
$as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: \$? = $ac_status" >&5
test $ac_status = 0; }; then
pkg_cv_libglib2_CFLAGS=`$PKG_CONFIG --cflags "glib-2.0 >= 2.14.1" 2>/
