Hi!

I'm trying to build powertop-2.0 on a BeagleBone running Ubuntu:

root(a)omap:~/powertop-2.0# uname -a
Linux omap 3.2.0-psp7 #1 Fri Apr 13 04:55:05 UTC 2012 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux

but I get an error in the ./configure stage:

checking for strtoull... yes
checking for library containing delwin... -lncurses ./configure: line 19020: syntax error near unexpected token PCIUTILS,' ./configure: line 19020: PKG_CHECK_MODULES(PCIUTILS, libpci,,'

I do have the pci utils I think:

root(a)omap:~/powertop-2.0# dpkg --list | egrep -i pci
ii  libpci-dev                      1:3.1.8-2ubuntu5                 Linux PCI Utilities (development files)
ii  libpci3                         1:3.1.8-2ubuntu5                 Linux PCI Utilities (shared library)
ii  libpciaccess0                   0.12.902-1                       Generic PCI access library for X
ii  pciutils                        1:3.1.8-2ubuntu5                 Linux PCI Utilities

though I see something unexpected with the PCI bus:

root(a)omap:~/powertop-2.0# ls /proc/bus/pci
ls: cannot access /proc/bus/pci: No such file or directory

I'm not sure this board has a PCI bus, actually.

How should I proceed?

You need to install the pkg-config package.

Not sure if there is a kernel config missing, does /sys/bus/pci/ exists?

No, that's present.

That isn't there either. Just checked under Angstrom too, it simply isn't there; the message is slightly different though:

checking for PCIUTILS... no
checking for library containing pci_get_dev... no
configure: error: libpci is required but was not found

And opkg can't find a package for it....

Have you re-executed autogen.sh after installing pkg-config?

No idea on this, sorry. Perhaps you can crosscompile it? (no experience on doing it with powertop though)
