</div></div>It appears to be bailing out because edje requires lua and it's not<br>
being found. Probably $? != 0 and possibly you would see this<br>
executing pkg-config with --print-errors.<br>
<br>
Arguably pkg-config should not be trying to resolve dependencies when<br>
you're just doing --variable and not --libs or something.</blockquote><div><br>ok, it makes sense.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
I don't know<br>
if there's any history behind that decision. I'm traveling right now,<br>
so I don't have a chance to look at the code right this second. Maybe<br>
Tollef can chime in, though.<br></blockquote><div><br>Anyway it's strange that the configure script didn't stops, because lua is a needed dependency. A bug in out<br>r <a href="http://configure.ac">configure.ac</a>, i think.<br>
<br>thank you very much !<br><br>Vincent Torri <br><br></div></div>
