[libdispatch-dev] [PATCH] use libkqueue if sys/event.h is missing

[Joakim Johansson]

Thanks.

For reference for anyone else encountering this, I did install pkg-config also from http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/wiki/, with the below attached patch we now fails more gracefully when we don't have libkqueue (need to add the local directory to the autoconf include path).

checking for KQUEUE... configure: error: Package requirements (libkqueue) were not met:

sh: gnome-config: not found
No package 'libkqueue' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

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

Of course, I'd like to disable this check on Solaris completely, as the current plan is to use native event ports rather than libkqueue, but that is for a later patch.

Joakim
