building native on Linux (openSUSE 13.1 64bit) - libbitcoin not found about airbitz-core HOT 3 CLOSED

It's not clear where the problem is, since I've never seen this particular issue, but maybe I can offer some clues about where to look.

The build system installs everything in build/prefix, so the first sanity check is to visit build/prefix/native/lib/pkgconfig and be sure libbitcoin.pc exists. Assuming it does, the problem must like with pkg-config.

The build system uses an environment variable, PKG_CONFIG_PATH, to tell pkg-config where to look for files. It may be that this variable isn't being honored for some reason. To see what your evironment looks like during a build, put the env command at the top of the build function in recipes/libwallet. The next time you run make, you should get a dump of your environment variables in build/libwallet/build-native.log. You should see PKG_CONFIG_PATH pointing to the right place.

Thanks, that helped a lot!

I had to add $install_dir/lib64/pkgconfig to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH. See PR:#2

So now, can I set whatever I want in config.h and can still use the basic functionality of the library? Or do you have any test keys for API_KEY_HEADER and CHAIN_API_USERPWD available for the public?

You want to get in contact with tim at airbitz.co, who can mail you a set of keys.

You could put some random data in those slots, but you wouldn't be able to acess the AirBitz servers to create accounts or log in. The chain server is used for sending.
