Feature added by: Sławomir Lach (Lachu) Feature #310721, revision 1 Title: Pkg-Config with Packagekit/Zypper integration openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Sławomir Lach (lachu) Description: This idea is made to make installing from source easiest as possible. Many tools to generating makefile (configure) uses pkg-config a lot. Pkg-config returns complirer flags and path to include files. When the package devel/header files isn't insralled, pkg-config only returns error code. We should modify pkg-config to search devel packages in the repository(like cnf). We can integrated zypper, but integrating PackageKit instead is also a good choice. The behaviour can be simply: displaying package name to install on error out. Not always package name are matched to name suggested by configuration script. I can also imagine to write complete replacement for make, which modify system path to directory with special wrapper for compilers/pkg-config. Use Case: Marthin liketto install some software into newest version onto home directory. He can use console, but won't waste a time for searching packages. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310721
