[B.A.T.M.A.N.] compiling error of alfred (master) on deb7 host

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] compiling error of alfred (master) on deb7 host

[Christian Breutkreutz]

Hello there!

I acctually have a problem in compiling the current alfred master on
debian 7.x based systems. If I try to compile it, alfred doesn't accept
the installed libcap-dev version. When I do the same on deb8 / ubuntu
15.10 bases systems, the make process runs normally.

This problem is reproducible on any fresh installed deb7 systems. Has
anyone an idea?

Thx an advance.

If possible I would prefer an German answer, but anyone who can help ist
wellcome.

Christian

libcap 1:2.22-1.2 from Debian oldstable is missing the pkg-config file. This 
was only fixed in the current Debian stable release (1:2.24-8). So you have 
different options

 * build without capability support using a make override

    make CONFIG_ALFRED_CAPABILITIES=n

 * provide the info about the libs and flags for libcap as make override

    make LIBCAP_CFLAGS='' LIBCAP_LDLIBS='-lcap'

 * install a newer version of libcap which includes libcap.pc

Kind regards,
	Sven
