Want to compile "Kino" for Slackware64 curr

I've some problems to complie Kino for Slackware64

If I compile one of the first requirements on a native slack64 system
some thing like this

Code:

checking for LIBRAW1394... yes
checking for LIBAVC1394... configure: error: Package requirements (libavc1394 >= 0.5.1) were not met:

No package 'libavc1394' found

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBAVC1394_CFLAGS
and LIBAVC1394_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

but I had compiled and installed it before!

how can I magage such problems in future ?

pre thanx

Is the libavc1394 you installed at least version 0.5.1? Did you install it in a non-standard location like your $HOME?

I don't know the directory layout of Slackware64 or how FHS compliant it is, but 64-bit libraries belong in lib64. Thus, the metadata files end up in lib64/pkgconfig. That can mess up pkg-config when it looks for dependencies. Try setting your PKG_CONFIG_PATH to look for the metadata files for 64-bit libraries when you execute the configure script. For example

Code:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/lib64/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib64/pkgconfig ./configure ...

It appears that the libavc '.pc' file is not being found. When you compiled and installed libavc was this file installed?

You may want to try the libavc1394 from SlackBuilds.org. It appears to have been updated for Slackware64-current, although I have not tried it on my Slackware64 system.

I had this problem when installing the dependencies for gksu in current64. Everything installed OK until I got to the gksu SlackBuild itself & it errored as above. What I found was that the libs for libgksu were installed to /usr/lib, instead of /usr/lib64. I added "/usr/lib" to PKG_CONFIG_PATH, then ran the gksu SlackBuild again & all worked. I don't know if this is the best way to do this. I should probably rewrite the SlackBuild so that the libraries for libgksu are put in the proper directory, but I don't yet know enough about lib64 vs lib, etc. to be sure of what I am doing.
Regards,

Where, full path, is it installed? What is the exact command you issued to configure kino? What is the output of echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH?
