Hello,
I'm trying to install a ruby gem oniguruma which depends on oniguruma
library. I have installed
i oniguruma 5.9.0-1 Unicode-aware regular
expressions library
i oniguruma-shlibs 5.9.0-1 Unicode-aware regular
expressions library
with fink, but the gem doesn't find that file.
The author of ruby gem is willing to fix that (he has no mac), but by
question is - how does one find a library/what's the proper way to do
that?
I could ask him to check if /sw/include/oniguruma.h exists, but that's
a bad coding practice, I guess. Esp. since I imagine that one could
have fink installed with some other prefix.
I've seen pkg-config a few times, but is probably not applicable to
this specific library (there is no oniguruma.pc).
What would you suggest? How should the author write the configuration
file, so that it would find the library installed with either fink or
macports? Or should the author of onigiruma change anything to improve
the situation?
Thanks a lot,
Mojca
