1767423 - --enable-audio-backends="sndio" ends with ERROR: Package sndio was not found in the pkg-config search path.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Joonas Niilola]

Steps to reproduce:

Try to enable sndio audio backend with --enable-audio-backends="sndio"

Actual results:

0:04.29 checking for sndio... no
 0:04.29 ERROR: Package sndio was not found in the pkg-config search path.
 0:04.29 ERROR: Perhaps you should add the directory containing `sndio.pc'
 0:04.29 ERROR: to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
 0:04.29 ERROR: Package 'sndio', required by 'virtual:world', not found

Expected results:

sndio is installed and the .pc looks correct. Also other libraries are found normally.

# cat /usr/lib/pkgconfig/sndio.pc
prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib64
includedir=${prefix}/include

Name: sndio
Description: sndio library
Version: 1.8.0
Requires:
Libs: -L${libdir} -lsndio
Cflags: -I${includedir}

We've historically patched sndio support through old-configure.in but with the introduction of --enable-audio-backends sndio should work with that.

Looking at my own output, it seems that the .pc file is installed to the wrong directory.

Note that /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/sndio.pc is missing, even though the .pc file says ${exec_prefix}/lib64. Something weird in Gentoo's package, sorry for the noise!
