Hi,
my last successful build of the GIT version of Balsa was on 2018/07/16

But now I encounter problems.

First, in configure.ac it  checks pkg_config enchant-2  which doesn't exist in 
Gentoo even though enchant-2.1.2 is installed here.
Therefore it checks for  <= enchant-1.6.0 which fails.

Does Gentoo put enchant-2.pc in a separate devel package? That's the file that 
pkg-config is failing to find.
Remember, Gentoo builds EVERY package from source, there are no sparate -dev or -devel 
packages.  However it seems that Gentoo has not distinguished enchant <2 from >=2 so even 
for enchant-2, the file is enchant.pc.  For me "pkg-config --modversion enchant" 
returns 2.1.1.

Configure and meson.build have been changed in master so that, when pkg-config fails to find 
enchant-2.pc, it tries "enchant != 1.6.1" instead of "enchant <= 1.6.0". It's a 
bit obscure (!) but should work both with distros that provide enchant-2.pc and those like Gentoo that 
name it enchant.pc.

Best,

Peter
