--------------------------------------
Summary: Support Fedora 25: use pkg-config instead of obsolete M4
macros
Key: ZOOKEEPER-2654
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-2654
Project: ZooKeeper
Issue Type: Bug
Components: build
Reporter: Olaf Flebbe
Assignee: Olaf Flebbe
While compiling Bigtop on Fedora 25 we found that there is an issue with the
autoconf detection of cppunit: See BIGTOP-2642 for error.
Some background regarding the issue can be found here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1311694
The fedora maintainers encourage use of pkg-config rather crufty *.m4 autoconf
magic by only supplying pkg-config files *.pc.
The patch is surprisingly easy but adds the additional requirement for
pkg-config which should be available on every well maintained system for ages.
Please see for me proposed patch. Works for me for Fedora 25, Centos 6, MacOSX
with HomeBrew.
