CMake complains about wrong missing package

[mpeter50]

After the repository has been cloned and the qjackctl_0_9_6 tag has been checked out, building the project with cmake -B build results in an error message complaining about the jack package missing. This is on openSUSE Leap 15.3.

I was scratching my head for some time because the jack package is installed, but then I went on to search in the issues and found this comment saying that the JACK development packages are needed too. After installing the libjack-devel package with zypper I was able to build, install and run QjackCtl.

Would it be possible to make it more clear in the error message which packages are needed? I'm not familiar with CMake, so this might be something internal, though.

Also, I didn't want to an open a separate issue for the following until I know whether it belongs to this issue tracker. Do you have information on why openSUSE Leap 15.3 has only 0.4.3 as the latest version in their repositories?

no, i realy don't know (i'm no internal to opensuse for that matter whatsoever:))

and on rpm distros like opensuse, mind you, you actually need the -devel packages (not the debianese -dev;))

cheers

Oh, yes, I messed that up :D fixed it in the initial comment.
