Attempting to compile .4 in a current Manjaro XFCE VM

[compguygene]

I think the easies way for me to run .4 on my Windows 11 gaming computer is to just run in a VirtualBox VM. I have allocated 10gb of the available 32gb to this virtual machine, which is only going to be used to run Armagetronad and Firefox. I installed what I thought were all the dependencies needed. But obviously I am missing some.

here is the output of the .configure command:

Code: Select all

 checking dependency style of gcc... gcc3
checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E
checking whether the compiler supports GNU C++... (cached) yes
checking whether g++ accepts -g... (cached) yes

./configure: line 13219: syntax error near unexpected token `XML2,'
./configure: line 13219: `  PKG_CHECK_MODULES(XML2, libxml-2.0 >= 2.6.11)'

Thank you for your assistance.

Performance through a VM probably isn't going to be very good. Also, the easiest way to run 0.4 is probably just to download one of the already-compiled binaries (or for future readers), rather than compiling it yourself, or to run the "experimental" version of Retrocycles through Steam.

Regardless, looks like the package `pkgconf` isn't installed, which should provide PKG_CHECK_MODULES
