Also, when the library is installed from the release tarball,
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/nanomsg.pc contains this line:
Version: Unknown
So a versioned check in other autotools-based projects like this below fails:
PKG_CHECK_MODULES(NANOMSG, nanomsg >= 0.9)

Hi,
indeed, this occurs if I build nanomsg using the GitHub release tarball.
There is no .git accounting inside the tarball.
I think the libnanomsg.so.5.0.0 should not be a symlink, but a binary,
regardless of whether it is build from GIT or from the release.
Then there should be two symlinks to it:
- libnanomsg.so.5 (the main library version symlink)
- libnanomsg.so (the development symlink)
This is the standard way of library naming.
Best regards,

So I think I know where the “Unknown” came from.
Basically, when building from something other than git, there is no .version file (make dist used to build this I think) which results in the process having no idea what the package version. I need to think about ways to fix this — I had not built a “SOURCE” package, but it appears we actually need a separate SOURCE package.

documentation. But it's entirely optional to do so. Getting ruby for most
platforms is usually close to trivial. And I think asciidoctor should be
platform

lack of
effort at the distro.
So in the context of source-based Linux distributions like Gentoo,
this means that formatting documentation will for many people require
first building libyaml, ragel, ruby, rubygems, rake, racc, json, rdoc
and finally asciidoctor. To me, the cost/benefit of that is totally
wrong.

I have cmake-3.3.1 installed.
