B created AVRO-2989:
-----------------------
Summary: libsnappy has no pkg-config file
Key: AVRO-2989
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2989
Project: Apache Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: c
Reporter: B
Google explicitly is not supporting pkg-config:
[https://github.com/google/snappy/pull/86]
But CMakeLists.txt does this:
{code:java}
set(SNAPPY_PKG libsnappy)
{code}
And later SNAPPY_PKG is what ends up in the pkg-config `Requires` section.
The end result is that `pkg-config --exists` will always fail, since the
Require'd package is (almost never) around, unless package managers or users
went and manually added one.
Note that this (softly) requires
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2987 to be fixed first – without
that fix, the whole Requires: section isn't really working in the first place.
