libgnutls-config missing

I was trying today to build a package from a PKGBUILD that I've made and although all the necessary dependencies and build tools were installed I got an error saying that libgnutls-config cannot be found. Is libgnutls-config not installed together with gnutls anymore or did gnutls change?

Re: libgnutls-config missing

I couldn't find libgnutls-config anywhere, neither using pacman -Ql gnutls or pkgfile libgnutls-config, so I guess it has been changed.

Re: libgnutls-config missing

libgnutils-config was deprecated in gnutls 2.8.
you need to patch the source of the application. i can give you an example to make one if you don't find.
can i ask what package do you try to compile and help you?

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: libgnutls-config missing

I am having this same problem.  I am trying to build loudmouth from the pkgbuild without success getting the mentioned error.  I would be interested in patching the source if necessary, unless someone knows of another solution...

Re: libgnutls-config missing

I'm having great difficulty installing csync2. I see it's now dropped to being unsupported and out of date, but we're still using it, I need to install it on a new server in the cluster, and I don't know of any alternative.

It's also complaining about libgnutls-config:

checking for libgnutls-config... no
checking for libgnutls - version >= 1.0.0... no
*** The libgnutls-config script installed by LIBGNUTLS could not be found
*** If LIBGNUTLS was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the LIBGNUTLS_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to libgnutls-config.
configure: error: gnutls not found; install gnutls, gnutls-openssl and libtasn1 packages for your system or run configure with --disable-gnutls

I've tried a number of different versions of csync2 and gnutls, using various sources, but no joy so far...
