B,

Yes.

On the SBo page I read,

"avahi is an optional dependency, used for location sharing (by redshift,
for example).  To enable it, use the option AVAHI=yes

   AVAHI=yes ./geoclue2.Slackbuild"

Since I don't want to enable it I did not add AVAHI=yes.

That's also in the README file. I didn't see anything about setting AVAHI=no
or anything else.

There's no AVAHI here to export.

If AVAHI is not on the system how would it be in the environment?

My web search showed me that AVAHI is a networking implentation which
enables programs to publish and discover services and hosts running on a
local network. If it's part of core Slackware then it's missing here after
my running 'slackpkg upgrade-all'.

When package maintainers write 'to add this option use this in front of the
build script' and I don't want to add it I've always left it off.

Worth a try. Command line: AVAHI=no ./geoclue2.SlackBuild &> geoclue2-build.log

Same results. Build log attached.

Thanks,

Rich

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables NMEA_SOURCE_CFLAGS
and NMEA_SOURCE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
