Bug Description

I got this error when I tried to build from the source

> configure: error: libmusicbrainz 5 needs to be available for sound-juicer to build ubuntu

However, it wasn't libmusicbrainz5-dev package that was needed but instead, but instead libdiscid0-dev.

I similarly got an error along the lines of gstreamer-1.0 when what was required was the -dev for plugins-bad and plugins-ugly.

libmusicbrainz does not have a configure script, which package are you referring to?
also in general configure scripts cannot give you good information on the required packages as that varies from distribtion to distribution
use the distributions build dependency resolving methods to get what you need.
for debian based distros: apt-get build-dep package
