Olaf Flebbe commented on ZOOKEEPER-2654: ---------------------------------------- One additinal benefit of this patch is that one does not need to have cppunit installed when regenerating the autoconf files. > Support Fedora 25: use pkg-config instead of obsolete M4 macros > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ZOOKEEPER-2654 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-2654 > Project: ZooKeeper > Issue Type: Bug > Components: build > Reporter: Olaf Flebbe > Assignee: Olaf Flebbe > Attachments: ZOOKEEPER-2654.patch > > > While compiling Bigtop on Fedora 25 we found that there is an issue with the > autoconf detection of cppunit: See BIGTOP-2642 for error. > Some background regarding the issue can be found here: > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1311694 > The fedora maintainers encourage use of pkg-config rather crufty *.m4 > autoconf magic by only supplying pkg-config files *.pc. > The patch is surprisingly easy but adds the additional requirement for > pkg-config which should be available on every well maintained system for ages. > Please see for me proposed patch. Works for me for Fedora 25, Centos 6, > MacOSX with HomeBrew. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
