The m4 macro PKG_CHECK_MODULES doesn't appear to be replaced when generating configure from configure.ac. Since you are using dh and compat = 10, dh_autoreconf is used by default, so that's where the macro isn't properly substituted. If you're running this in a clean environment, it likely comes from the fact that you don't have pkg-config installed, which installs /usr/share/aclocal/pkg.m4, where the macro is defined (and which has to be available at the time autoreconf is run). So my guess is you simply need to add pkg-config to your Build-Depends and everything should work. I've never used svn-buildpackage, and I don't understand how to properly checkout what you have and build it, so I can't really verify that this is the right solution. Regards, Christian
