btrfs-progs build failed in CentOS 6 and 7:
#./autogen.sh
...
configure.ac:131: error: possibly undefined macro: PKG_CHECK_VAR
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
...
Seems PKG_CHECK_VAR is new in pkgconfig 0.28 (24-Jan-2013):
http://redmine.audacious-media-player.org/boards/1/topics/736
And the max available version for CentOS 7 in yum-repo and
rpmfind.net is: pkgconfig-0.27.1-4.el7
http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=pkgconfig&submit=Search+...&system=centos&arch=
I updated my pkgconfig to 0.30, but still failed at above error.
(Maybe it is my setting problem)
To make user in centos 6 and 7 building btrfs-progs without
more changes, we can avoid using PKG_CHECK_VAR in following
way found in:
