[jira] Commented: (THRIFT-978) better error message when pkg-config is missing

["David Reiss (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-978?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12927564#action_12927564 ] 

David Reiss commented on THRIFT-978:
------------------------------------

I don't think this is the right change.  This problem only occurs when the person who ran bootstrap.sh didn't have pkg.m4.  The user running configure doesn't need pkg-config to build the parts of Thrift that don't depend on it.
