[SOLVED] build profanity with omemo support

My setup:

• SlackWare 5.4.13
• libsignal-protocol-c 2.3.2 (built from github)

Problem:
I want to build profanity with omemo support.
I use slackbuild but I give it latest profanity release from github
and it builds if I do not change slackbuild. If I add --enable-omemo, then I can see the following stuff

checking for libsignal... no
configure: libsignal >= 2.3.2 not found, checking for libsignal 2.3.x...
checking for libsignal... no
configure: error: libsignal-protocol-c is required for OMEMO support

If you want to build it with omemo support, you will have to build yourself a package for libsignal-protocol-c from the source files here as the is no SlackBuilkd for it @ https://slackbuilds.org/. Good luck.

I wrote that i did it. But profanity does not see it.

Sorry for my distraction. But then, how/where is it installed? To be sure, please type as root:
updatedb
then provide the output of:
locate libsignal.so

Just as an FYI, I created a Slackbuild for libsignal-protocol-c last year when I was playing around with profanity. I did not submit to slackbuilds.org because the version of profanity there does not support OMEMO. Therefore I thought that there is probably no demand for libsignal-protocol-c. Since this came up now I did submit the Slackbuild. With any luck it will show up over the weekend. If you want you can click on "My Slackbuilds" in my signature and download the Slackbuild from there.

I was able to successfully run ./configure with this for profanity version 0.8.1. The build itself fails at a later stage, though, but maybe we can take this one step at a time.

UPDATE: I have successfully build profanity 0.8.1 with './configure --enable-omemo'. You write that you are using Slackware 5.4.13. I assume that is Slackware current? I have build on Slackware 14.2.

Please let me know if the Slackbuild (libsignal-protocol-c) works for you.

No locate output.
This is what make install installs:

build [master] % sudo make install

There is no .so file, what do I miss out on?

Yes, I am indeed on current. Your slackbuild works! I managed to build latest profanity with omemo support.
Looks like I installed libsignal-protocol-c in a wrong way. I should have specified how I did it.
Thank you. Everything works.
