Description Darxus 2012-04-14 13:34:37 UTC 
When missing libwayland or libxkbcommon, the error the build halts on is one about glib.h missing (when it's not).  

If you read through the entire output, you'll find:

"Package wayland-client was not found in the pkg-config search path."

for libwayland, and about the same for libxkbcommon, but it doesn't halt on those errors, so they're challenging to dig up.  

(I produced this problem within debian/ubuntu package building, but I expect the same result without it.)

Can you attach the full build log. If I delete the wayland-client .pc file then my configure neatly stops. Like so:


configure: error: Package requirements (pango pangocairo gdk-pixbuf-2.0 cairo cairo-gobject gio-unix-2.0 fontconfig x11 xext xinerama xi xrandr xcursor xfixes xcomposite xdamage wayland-client >= 1.0.0 xkbcommon >= 0.2.0 wayland-cursor  cairo-xlib cairo pangoft2) were not met:

No package 'wayland-client' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GDK_DEP_CFLAGS
and GDK_DEP_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
make: *** [config.status] Error 1
