-Subject: [PATCH] fix jsoncpp detection
-MIME-Version: 1.0
-Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
-Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
-
-The default installation path for the header files is {prefix}/json, but some
-system prefers to install the headers in {prefix}/jsoncpp/json.
-
-This patch from upstream handles both cases now when checking for the jsoncpp
-library.
-
-The patch is squashed of two commits from upstream:
-1/ aba96db0cfe8a2e5c825f4448c0ad184e21b50e1
-2/ ce144f19a8c2e8c1e0ec3fe53699e874e5eb43fe

-Subject: [PATCH] Use pkg-config for libupnpp
-MIME-Version: 1.0
-Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
-Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
-
-Use pkg-config for libupnpp to fix build issues when cross-compiling and
-building upmpdcli statically.
-
-Building upmpdcli aborts because of an unsafe header inclusion of
-`/usr/include/libupnpp`. Using `{prefix}` to get the header path is wrong for
-cross-compilation. Instead of hard-coding the flags for libupnpp use pkg-config
-to get the correct ones.

-
-libmpdclient, libmicrohttpd and jsoncpp provide a .pc file. Use
-pkg-config for detecting the libraries and for providing the necessary
-details for compiling and linking.
-
-The current build system of upmpdcli does not use PKG_CHECK_MODULES, but
-AC_LINK_IFELSE to detect jsoncpp. After bumping jsoncpp version from 1.7.2 to
-1.7.5 the detection fails, because the test program does not compile:
