Fix configuration issues with compiling with custom releases of libparted (v1) (9.66 KB, patch)

Description Mike Fleetwood 2015-08-11 17:10:47 UTC 
Seen these issues when building GParted with libparted installed in non-
system location or with non-released versions of libparted:

1) Configuration based on the system provided version of libparted,
   rather than the the version linked with from the non-system location.

2) Configuration may miscompare versions of non-released version of
   libparted.

Thank you Mike for discovering this problem and providing a fix.  The patchset in comment #1 looks good to me.  As such I have committed it to the git repository for inclusion in the next release of GParted.

Hopefully you don't mind that I made one minor change to the title of the second patch
