ModemManager-1.4.12: Cannot compile ModemManager with libmbim-glib on ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS X86_64 env

[fibocom (liuqf)]

Hi, Aleksander. 
  Thanks for replying. Thanks very much.
  I will correct the  issue description.
  Let me introduce myself, I'm a 4G module manufacturer' software eng, I need to develop a mbim function on ubuntu 16.04 system. 

It's the ubuntu 16.04.2 x86_64 pc:
ght at ght-ThinkPad-X270:~/Downloads/ModemManager-1.4.12$ cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS \n \l
ght at ght-ThinkPad-X270:~/Downloads/ModemManager-1.4.12$ uname -a
Linux ght-ThinkPad-X270 4.8.0-49-generic #52~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 20 10:55:59 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
ght at ght-ThinkPad-X270:~/Downloads/ModemManager-1.4.12$ 

my configure value : ./configure --prefix=/home/ght/Downloads/ModemManager-1.4.12/LIU --without-qmi
and the configure result show in attached file, it shows 'configure: error: Couldn't find libmbim-glib. Install it, or otherwise configure using --without-mbim to disable MBIM support.'。

I had check the libmbim-glib library in ubuntu system,it's in the system.
ght at ght-ThinkPad-X270:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu$ ls libmbim*
libmbim-glib.a  libmbim-glib.so  libmbim-glib.so.4  libmbim-glib.so.4.1.0
ght at ght-ThinkPad-X270:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu$

I had install libmbim-glib-dev as your suggestion.
ght at ght-ThinkPad-X270:/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu$ sudo apt-get install libmbim-glib-dev
[sudo] password for ght:

libmbim-glib-dev is already the newest version (1.12.2-2ubuntu1).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 45 not upgraded.

But it's faile to install libmbim-glib-devel.
ght at ght-ThinkPad-X270:/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu$ sudo apt-get install  libmbim-glib-devel
Reading package lists... Done

E: Unable to locate package libmbim-glib-devel

It's still faile to configure after install libmbim-glib-dev.

A more descriptive email subject would have helped, something like
"cannot compile ModemManager with libmbim-glib".
 
Also, please, please, don't include the actual error message you're
getting in an attached image (!!), it doesn't make any sense, and it
won't help people in the future if they're googling for the same issue
you're having, as they won't find the solution in this email. For
reference, this is the message that is being generated during configure:
 
"configure: error: Couldn't find libmbim-glib. Install it, or otherwise
configure using --without-mbim to disable MBIM support."
 
 
Your issue is that you have installed libmbim-glib (the package with the
library) but you don't have installed the "devel" libmbim-package (the
package with the headers and the pkg-config files). The name of the
"devel" package depends on your distribution, but it may be something
like libmbim-glib-dev or libmbim-glib-devel. You'll have to look for the
correct package name yourself in your distribution and install it.
 
Cheers!
