Package: bfgminer Version: 4.7.0+dfsg-2 Severity: serious Justification: FTBFS, but did so in the past
Hi, A binary-only rebuild of bfgminer for the libblkmaker transition failed to build. Relevant part of the build log: configure:11948: checking for libblkmaker configure:11955: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "libblkmaker_jansson-0.1" Package libbase58 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libbase58.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable Package 'libbase58', required by 'libblkmaker_jansson-0.1', not found configure:11958: $? = 1 configure:11972: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "libblkmaker_jansson-0.1" Package libbase58 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libbase58.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable Package 'libbase58', required by 'libblkmaker_jansson-0.1', not found configure:11975: $? = 1 configure:11989: result: no Package 'libbase58', required by 'libblkmaker_jansson-0.1', not found configure:12006: error: Could not find system libblkmaker This seems to be because libbase58-0 does not contain a .pc file, so pkg-config fails to find it when required as a dependency of libblkmaker. To confirm this I created a local libbase58.pc file and the build succeeded. I'm not sure if this is a bug in libbase58 for not carrying a .pc file, or in libblkmaker which grew the dependency on it, or bfgminer for failing when pkg-config fails. Please double-check my diagnosis and reassign as appropriate.
