Part of this is due to language barriers and because you could have asked Ivan early to quote/attach unified patches. Comment 40 of the ticket suggests that there exist helper methods for CMake to query pkgconfig. That sounds just fine, provided that wxsqlite3-devel included a working pkgconfig file, but it does not. Check this out: $ rpm -q wxsqlite3-devel wxsqlite3-devel-3.0.1-1.fc18.x86_64 $ rpmls wxsqlite3-devel|grep pc -rw-r--r-- /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/wxsqlite3.pc $ pkg-config --exists wxsqlite3 || echo "no" no Just to demonstrate that it fails. Let's see why while still using pkg-config instead of displaying the .pc file directly: $ pkg-config --libs wxsqlite3 Package wxGTK-devel was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `wxGTK-devel.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable Package 'wxGTK-devel', required by 'wxsqlite3', not found Oh! wxGTK-devel is an RPM package name, not a pkgconfig template name. That doesn't work. The "Requires" dependencies in .pc files are pkgconfig dependencies, not RPM dependencies. $ grep ^Req /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/wxsqlite3.pc Requires: wxGTK-devel sqlite-devel Same mistake for sqlite-devel. Does wxGTK-devel include a .pc file you could depend on? The one for sqlite-devel is named "sqlite3": $ rpmls sqlite-devel|grep pkg -rw-r--r-- /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/sqlite3.pc However, wxsqlite3 is linked with libsqlite already, so it shouldn't be necessary to depend on sqlite3.pc. Unless the dep is needed for the pkg-config --cflags query (i.e. if wxsqlite3 headers include sqlite3 headers). Primary objective should be to fix wxsqlite3.pc, so that you can query it with pkgconfig. -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging
