I want compile Firefox on Debian so I create .mozconfig like:

mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/ff-dbg
ac_add_options --enable-application=browser

...and now use this command to compile ( create make ):

 ./configure

...but I get this error:

configure: error: Library requirements (libnotify >= 0.4) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

...so search in repo:

i   libnotify-bin                  - sends desktop notifications to a notifica
i A libnotify0.4-cil               - CLI library for desktop notifications    
i A libnotify1                     - sends desktop notifications to a notifica
v   libnotify1-gtk2.10             -

What can I do to get this compiled?

  • have you installed libnotify1-dev or it's variants?

  • Do not use "configure"! That will just break the compiling.

You have to install the *-dev packages if you want to compile something against a library.

In your case it would be one or more of these:

$ apt-cache search libnotify dev
libnotify-cil-dev - CLI library for desktop notifications
libnotifymm-dev - C++ binding for libnotify (development files)
libnotify-dev - sends desktop notifications to a notification daemon

I have Ubuntu 10.04, your results may vary.
