Gnome-gmail-notifier [libsoup problem]

Hi,

I am trying to orphan the package gnome-gmail-notifier, but i ran into this problem. I only edited the PKGBUILD to match the new version and edited the download link. Now i am having some problems running ./configure

No package 'libsoup-2.2' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables libsoup_CFLAGS
and libsoup_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
==> ERROR: Build Failed.

If i understand it correctly , it is looking for the libary libsoup wich in arch is called libsoup
/usr/lib/

libsoup-2.4.so
libsoup-2.4.so.1
libsoup-2.4.so.1.2.0

How could i let the ./configure use libsoup-2.4 as libary?

Re: Gnome-gmail-notifier [libsoup problem]

The problem is that gnome-gmail-notifier needs libsoup 2.2 while in the repo we have libsoup 2.4. Gnome-gmail-notifier needs to be patched to build/work with the latest libsoup. Try googling, maybe there's a patch available.
