Compiling kpat - ecm_generate_headers not found

Hello,

I am trying to compile KPat (to play with the source code), but I am stuck on a weird problem. I cloned the repository, created a build folder in the src folder, and ran

cmake ..

However, I am greeted with the message

Unknown CMake command "ecm_generate_headers".

First of all, upon googling "ecm_generate_headers", there is barely any info on it; let alone the error I'm having. I have installed the extra-cmake-modules package, but to no avail. What am I doing wrong?

Check the PKGBUILD at https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-p … ence/trunk .

Does using the same cmake commands as in its build() function help ?

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Nevermind, I figured it out.

The git repo seems to be broken. I downloaded the repo that you sent me and compiled using makepkg. Everything worked perfectly.

Thank you for your help!
