Hi. I created a package https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:rwman/progress Currently it does not build for opensuse 42.1 with the error: [ 33s] Package ncurses was not found in the pkg-config search path. [ 33s] Perhaps you should add the directory containing `ncurses.pc' [ 33s] to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable [ 33s] No package 'ncurses' found How can i fix it? And why it is building fine for opensuse 13.2? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

Did you try to add a conditional build requirement for libncurses5 (and potentially ncurses-utils)? HTh Ax -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

No. How can I write such conditional requirement? On Sat, Feb 20, 2016 at 9:17 PM, Axel Braun wrote:

I just tried to add unconditional "BuildRequires: libncurses5" and it didn't help. On Sat, Feb 20, 2016 at 10:23 PM, Axel Braun wrote:

Of course it does not. Why should it? Who suggested that? *.pc files are generally found in -devel packages, not in library packages. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

He already has BuildRequires for ncurses-devel and pkg-config. Why they work on 13.2 but fail on 13.1 and TW? Why ncurses-devel does not pull in libncurses? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

This is about ncurses.pc, not libncurses*. pkg-config only knows about *.pc files, if they are missing then it will bail out. There is no ncurses.pc in ncurses-devel on 42.1.

This is about ncurses.pc, not libncurses*.

Yes, of course.

pkg-config only knows about *.pc files, if they are missing then it will bail out. There is no ncurses.pc in ncurses-devel on 42.1.

Indeed. Is it intentional or should be considered a bug? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

It's a bug in the package that requires its existence. Pkgconfig files are optional.

Ok. I looked at the ncurses.spec and it does have *.pc files in the ncurses-devel: %{_libdir}/pkgconfig/*.pc I wonder how it happened that it is absent in the openSUSE 42.1 build? On Mon, Feb 22, 2016 at 1:08 PM, Andreas Schwab wrote:

build? It is quite simple: ncurses-devel in Leap 42.1 is inherit from SLE12 SP1 where the pkgconfig wasn't shipped (because it wasn't in upstream tarball when ncurses was shipped for SLE12. -- Frederic Crozat Enterprise Desktop Release Manager SUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
