unable to build - cflags not defined correctly for libdicate

[Matt Summers]

I am unable to build a freshly checked out copy of the source for pidgin-libnotify on oneric. This was not a problem for the natty release.

[Steps to reproduce]
$ apt-get source pidgin-libnotify
$ cd pidgin-libnotify
$ ./configure
$ make

make all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/username/pidgin-libnotify'
Making all in po
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/username/pidgin-libnotify/po'
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/username/pidgin-libnotify/po'
Making all in src
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/username/pidgin-libnotify/src'

[Investigation]
I do have libindicate-devel installed which contains libindicate/indicator.h
$ find /usr/ -name indicator.h
/usr/include/libindicate-0.6/libindicate-gtk/indicator.h
/usr/include/libindicate-0.6/libindicate/indicator.h

It looks like the CFLAGS do not mention anything about libindicate. In the natty source release you can see in the generated Makefile definitions for LIBINDICATE_CFLAGS and LIBINDICATE_LIBS, but they do not appear to be generated this time around.

I can provide more logging if requested.
