epoll-shim.pc isn't compiled or builded

[ahmadraniri1994]

Compiling fuzzel brought me here to satisfy one of its dependency (epoll-shim / epoll-shim.pc) , then I compiled epoll-shim and succesfully compiled but I can't find "epoll-shim.pc" though I know there is a "epollshim.pc.cmakein" . Any advice?

quick update , when I ran "cmake --build . -t install" I got "gmake: *** No rule to make target 'install'. Stop." .

Are you on Linux? In that case, there is nothing to install, because Linux provides epoll and friends out of the box.

Because of this, it looks like fuzzel's build system has epoll-shim as an optional dependency. On Linux, epoll-shim shouldn't be found.

I should add that the reason anything builds on Linux at all is that there are a whole bunch of tests for epoll, timerfd, signalfd, eventfd etc. that are also useful on Linux.

Installation is disabled here in the CMakeLists.txt:

epoll-shim/CMakeLists.txt

Lines 50 to 52 in 33a76a7

	if(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME STREQUAL "Linux")
	return()
	endif()

Yes, I am on linux.

epoll-shim is not needed when building fuzzel on Linux. It's only needed when building on *BSD.
