Hello,
Attached a patch for using pkg-config instead.
lftp currently contains workarounds for ancient (pre 1.2.1) gnutls
versions (see LFTP_LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_CODE). pkg-config is the only way
to find this version number both in current and ancient versions of
gnutls. If upstream does not want to use pkg-config they can do two
things:
1. Use libgnutls-config if available, otherwise use a standard
autoconf test to find the library and pull the definition of
LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_NUMBER from gnutls.h to get the version. Please note
that newer gnutls upstream does not include the m4 code for invocation
of libgnutls-config (AM_PATH_LIBGNUTLS), therefore you'll need to ship
a private copy.
2. Simplify the whole situation by dropping the workarounds for ancient
gnutls, therefore making LFTP_LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_CODE unnecessary, and
use a standard autoconf test.
2 is probably a good idea even if they switch to pkg-config. ;-)
