@note On Debian-based distributions including Ubuntu and its derivatives skip the
```--libdir=/usr/lib64``` argument.
A description on how to fix "No package 'foo' found" errors during the
configure stage is available
<a href="https://who-t.blogspot.com.au/2014/05/configure-fails-with-no-package-foo.html">in
this blog post here</a>.
A successful build requires the @ref building_dependencies to be installed
at configure time.
@subsection building_dependencies Build dependencies
libinput has a few build-time dependencies that must be installed prior to
running configure. In most cases, it is sufficient to install the
dependencies that your distribution uses to build the libinput package.
These can be installed with one of the following commands:
<ul>
<li><b>Debian/Ubuntu</b> based distributions: ```sudo apt-get build-dep
libinput```</li>
<li><b>Fedora 22</b> and later: ```sudo dnf builddep libinput```</li>
<li><b>SuSE/RHEL/CentOS/Fedora 21</b> and earlier: ```sudo yum-builddep libinput```</li>
<li><b>Arch</b>:
<pre>
$> abs extra/libinput
$> cd $(mktemp -d)
$> cp /var/abs/extra/libinput/PKGBUILD .
$> makepkg --syncdeps --nobuild
</pre>
</li>
</ul>
If dependencies are missing, a message ```No package 'foo' found``` will be
shown during the configure stage. See
<a href="https://who-t.blogspot.com.au/2014/05/configure-fails-with-no-package-foo.html">this blog post here</a>.
for instructions on how to fix it.
