Comment # 1 on bug 1226806 from Andreas Stieger

Your bug reports are not as good as they could be. This one lacks details, and
rather then describing steps and providing information it requests a
(incorrect) solution. Please apply Occam's razor: how likely is it that you are
the first one to attempt to build software using a commonly used dependency?
Not a lot.
