[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#649571: libasound2-dev: alsa.pc file not installed into /usr/lib/pkgconfig/

[Chris McIntyre]

Package: libasound2-dev
Version: 1.0.24.1-4
Severity: normal

After installing libasound2-dev from the sid repository, I was unable to get
../configure to detect the ALSA libraries when run prior to the compilation of
Mangler (a ventrillo client). I was able to determine that the alsa.pc file
that should be present in /usr/lib/pkgconfig/ was not there. I proceeded to
copy alsa.pc from the .deb package into /usr/lib/pkgconfig/ by hand and after
that ./configure was able to detect the ALSA library. I was unable to determine
if other packages than Mangler would compile properly without the alsa.pc file
being present, however I can provide further assistance and troubleshooting if
required.
