Thanks for the reply Ruben.
Yes I do have all the 'requires' installed for Virt-viewer. I don't
use virt-manager and my problem was "spice didn't work for me" my vm
would start but I could not use spice graphics until I applied the
patch and rebuilt virt-viewer.
Putting some echo statements after the test for "--with-spice-gtk"
in the slackbuild proved that virt-viewer was building
"--without-spice-gtk" Thus requiring the patch.
Checking the man page for pkg-config
""" The package name specified on the pkg-config command line is
defined to be the name of the metadata file, minus the .pc extension.
"""
I see that the '.pc' extension should not be used in the test for spice.
So at least on my machine 'Slackware64-14.1' the patch is required.
Thanks again
John
