[Bug 242405] New: Digikam configure script misleading.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=242405

           Summary: Digikam configure script misleading.
           Product: digikam
           Version: 1.3.0
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:           1.3.0 (using KDE 4.4.4)
OS:                Linux

Digikam 1.3.0 depends upon unreleased versions of libraries libkexiv2 and
libkdcraw. When the configure script does not find the version of the libraries
it needs, it reports the libraries missing, in stead of too old.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Compile digikam 1.3.0

Actual Results:  
Misleading messages from the configure script:
-- checking for module 'libkdcraw>=1.1.0'
--   package 'libkdcraw>=1.1.0' not found
-- checking for module 'libkexiv2>=1.1.0'
--   package 'libkexiv2>=1.1.0' not found


Expected Results:  
"Your installed versions of $LIBRARY is too old, please upgrade to at least
$REQUIRED version"

It's poor form to release software as "stable" when it depends upon libraries
that have not yet been marked as stable.

We cannot do much about this because the pkgconfig macro from cmake simply says
whether it has found a suitable version or not. If not, it does not tell which
version was found but wasn't sufficient.

Thanks for the extra info.

I was under the impression that each project can fine-tune their own cmake
script, same as the configure script of old. Do you think we can ask for a
change in the cmake scripts themselves, then?

We could do a workaround, first requesting every version of the library and
then in a second step the desired version. But I do not think it's worth the
work.

Actually I think it would be better if kde would switch to the new cmake
pkgconfig wrapper. This one gives much better console output of what's exactly
requested.

Nope. I prefer to keep things simple as well.

It would be better for the pkgconfig wrapper to be used in KDE.
