Description Benoît Dejean 2006-10-30 18:24:13 UTC 
I need someone to craft system-monitor/configure.in to automate pcrecpp detection and make this dependency optionnal. It's on CVS HEAD. Please help me with the configure.in and i'll cope with the code. Thanks.

I changed this:

to make it build here. I'm using a Fedora development system and if the bleeding edge of fedora doesn't have a new enough pcre version I guess we shouldn't depend on one unless we really have to. g-s-m built just fine with version 6.6.
Comment 2 Benoît Dejean 2006-11-01 14:08:15 UTC 
OK, i've downgraded the dep on 6.6. I used 6.7 because that was my version, but i doesn't use any special feature, so even < 6.6 may work fine.
Comment 3 Adam Dingle 2006-11-19 16:34:40 UTC 
FYI, I just built gnome-system-monitor from CVS HEAD on Ubuntu 6.10, which has libpcre3 version 6.4, so I edited configure.in to have PCRE_REQUIRED=6.4.  The build completed without errors and the executable seems to work fine.

I still haven't decided if this is a joke or the GNOME way to have regular expressions for everyone.

Comment 6 Benoît Dejean 2007-06-28 07:27:20 UTC 
no pcrecpp, no feature
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
