Description Anders Jonsson 2015-07-31 20:39:17 UTC 
When building gnome-characters on Debian I had fulfilled all dependencies asked for by autogen.sh. However, when trying "make", it failed with these lines:

gperf -m 10 ./unictype/categ_byname.gperf > ./unictype/categ_byname.h-t
/bin/bash: gperf: command not found


Installing the package gperf fixes this for me. autogen.sh should probably check for the availability of gperf along with other build dependencies.
