[lfs-support] meson build error while executing the configure command in 6.54. Systemd-239

[Fletcher Barnes]

I am in the process of build Linux From Scratch Version 8.3-systemd.
I am using an ubuntu 18.04.1 system with 16gb of memory.
I am at step 6.54 and receive the following message while executing the
configure command

Found pkg-config: /usr/bin/pkg-config (0.29.2)
Native dependency libcap found: YES 2.25

meson.build:800:0: ERROR: Native dependency 'mount' not found

A full log can be found at /sources/meson-logs/meson-log.txt


The last several lines of the above mentioned log.txt are as follows

Prior to this I in section 6.6 I had trouble with the following command
which I thought I resolved, but may not have

for pc in blkid mount uuid
do

/usr/lib/pkgconfig/${pc}.pc

done


I am at a loss as to what to do now. Any help would be appreciated.

This might be of help:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48690290/meson-cross-compiling-dependencies

meson uses pkg-config (.pc) files to detect dependencies. Also, libmount
is installed as part of the util-linux package.

So, either the mount.pc file does not exist, or cannot be located
by the system, or libmount and its headers were not installed as they
should have been with the util-linux package.


Cheers,
