[asterisk-bugs] [JIRA] (ASTERISK-21760) Asterisk autoconf script does not check for pkg-config as a dependency

    [ https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-21760?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=243312#comment-243312 ] 

Alexander Traud commented on ASTERISK-21760:
--------------------------------------------

[~okrief], thanks for reporting this. It is a bug for sure because the error message is not descriptive. I stumbled about the same issue and commented about this in ASTERISK-27555: {{pkg-config}} is now part of of the installation script for the prerequisites {{contrib/scripts/install_prereq}}. This is not a resolution to this bug here but makes this issue more unlikely. By the way: You have to go for {{./bootstrap.sh}} (and install {{autoconf}}) only when you edit/patch the file {{configure.ac}}.
