Build without libarchive

[vasi]

If the user can't get libarchive, just stub it out. But this means command-line behaviour will differ—they won't get indexing. Is that ok?

[perjahn]

Is this issue related to the build failures of libarchive?

Ubuntu:
./configure: line 4937: syntax error near unexpected token LIBARCHIVE,' ./configure: line 4937:PKG_CHECK_MODULES(LIBARCHIVE, libarchive)'

Centos:
configure: error: Package requirements (libarchive) were not met:
No package 'libarchive' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBARCHIVE_CFLAGS and LIBARCHIVE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

hello
quick fix

remove everything

install this
apt-get install build-essential autoconf autogen asciidoc libarchive-dev pkg-config liblzma-dev

clone again
./autogen.sh
./configure
make

works for me, I think you need pkg-config before running autogen.sh
