Bug #105364 for Term-VTerm: vterm detection does not work on FreeBSD

Subject:

vterm detection does not work on FreeBSD

On FreeBSD 10.1 the vterm detection does not seem to work: $ pkg-config vterm --atleast_version 0 pkgconf: unknown option -- atleast_version vterm is installed; it just looks like pkg-config does not support the --atleast_version option: $ pkg-config vterm ; echo $? 0 $ pkg-config --version vterm 0.28

This is a silly behaviour of pkg-config; what that's done is output the version of pkg-config itself (and ignored the trailing argument) What you want to do is $ pkg-config --modversion vterm And see if it outputs 0.0 (which is correct), or @VERSION@ (which would mean it was installed wrongly and needs reinstalling). -- Paul Evans

Output is @VERSION@ here. vterm is installed via a freebsd package (libvterm-git20150527). Does this really mean that the package is broken?

That means it was built directly from a source checkout ((curious that it says 'git' there because I version it with bzr)) rather than from a packed source tarball, from before the revision where that made a difference. Best would be to update upstream to fix it. Once you get "0.0" instead of "@VERSION@" there, then things should be fine. -- Paul Evans

The freebsd port fetches the source code from https://github.com/neovim/libvterm I guess the mirror exists because freebsd's port system only handles git (or github) and not bzr... Show quoted text

Actually I believe that mirror exists because neovim applied some local modifications to the library, before I could get around to properly upstreaming them. That mirror shouldn't be considered canonical. -- Paul Evans

Closing as a variant of "user error" -- Paul Evans
