Needs a libtoxcore, please add the corrsponding package as a dependency:

configure: error: Package requirements (libtoxcore) were not met:

Package 'libtoxcore', required by 'virtual:world', not 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 LIBTOXCORE_CFLAGS
and LIBTOXCORE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

@isacdaavid: And even if that get's worked around (by crude soft-linking /usr/lib/pkgconfig/toxcore.pc to libtoxcore.pc), the compile fails later on because of wrong count and type of function parameters (IIRC, way above my C-level). Neither the original upstream nor one of forks seems to be actively maintained, and none of them provides an issue tracker.

Somehow, configure stopped detecting toxcore:

checking for LIBTOXCORE... no

Well, this seems to be due to: https://github.com/jin-eld/tox-prpl/issues/65 There's an unofficial gentoo's patch in here: https://data.gpo.zugaina.org/gamarouns/net-im/tox-prpl/files/tox_callback_user_data_handling.patch The patch actually makes the build work. Not sure if the upstream author will eventually accept the patch...
