[Discuss-gnuradio] gr-audio-portaudio module vs portaudio-0.19

[Berndt Josef Wulf]

G'day,

I'm trying to create a gr-audio-portaudio package for pkgsrc. Running 
gr-audio-portaudio's configure script will lead to the following error 
message:

echo $ECHO_N "checking for portaudio >= 19... $ECHO_C" >&6
checking for portaudio >= 19... Package portaudio was not found in the 
pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing 
`portaudio.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 
'portaudio' found
configure: error: Library requirements (portaudio >= 19) not met; consider 
adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a 
nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

The configure script uses pkg-config to find details about portaudio. However, 
portaudio-0.19cvs doesn't provide a portaudio.pc file. My guess is that 
portaudio.pc comes as part of the portaudio RPM package, possibly created 
manually by the package maintainers - please correct me if this ins't the 
case.

With this in mind, wouldn't it be better to check for the release version 
using the portaudio function Pa_GetVersion() function?

cheerio Berndt
