[bug-recutils] Problems building with readrec

[Leo Famulari]

Hi,

I am trying to build recutils with the readrec bash builtin.

I tried following the instructions given on 2015-01-11 on help-recutils
[1] but I can't successfully ./configure the build process to build
readrec. I wonder if there is a "hidden" dependency?

Here is what I did:

$ mkdir dir && cd dir
$ wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/bash-4.3.tar.gz
$ tar xzf bash-4.3.tar.gz && mv bash-4.3 bash
$ wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/recutils/recutils-1.7.tar.gz
$ tar xzvf recutils-1.7.tar.gz
$ cd recutils-1.7
$ ./configure --with-bash-headers=../bash/
# I also tried to give the absolute path /home/user/dir/bash/

The configure log ends with:
[...]
warning: libcheck was not found in the system.
warning: unit tests wont be compiled and executed upon make check.
warning: libmdb was not found in the system.
warning: the mdb2rec utility won't get built.
warning: glib was not found in the system.
warning: the mdb2rec utility won't get built.
warning: building recutils without encryption support.
warning: building recutils without support for uuid types.
warning: not building the recutils bash builtins

Let me know what other information I can provide.

Leo
