Issue to Install in Puppy Linux

[MundoDasCPUs]

I am trying to install lurch in puppy linux, but i got this error:

make install-home

Package purple was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `purple.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

I checked the dependence in PPM and all was installed.
Thanks

hi, and thanks for the report!
it looks like the dev headers are missing, which often have to be installed separately. i failed to find a searchable package registry for the puppy package manager (which is assume PPM stands for), so i can't say for sure. which dependencies exactly did you make sure are installed?

Hi, I installed that's dependence:

cmake_3.10.2
git-all_2.17.1
libpurple0_2.12.0
libmxml1_2.10-1
libxml2_2.9.4
libsqlite3-0_3.22.0
libgcrypt20_1.8.1
build-essential_12.4

My puppy linux is bionic_puppy x86. Have packets .pet (propriety of puppy) and this distro get parts of Ubuntu 18 TLS to complement the library.

sorry i didn't get back to you earlier. as i said, i couldn't really find a package registry. if it's ubuntu based, the dev headers are in fact in a separate package. here is the list of packages needed for debian from the readme:

sudo apt install git cmake libpurple-dev libmxml-dev libxml2-dev libsqlite3-dev libgcrypt20-dev build-essential

can you try installing the -dev packages?

when i set make install-home, i got this error:

make install-home

@MundoDasCPUs you're still missing the purple-dev package
