#3833 closed patch (fixed)

Mythtv should allow linking with -ldca, instead of forced -ldts.

Description

libdts development has stopped, and new name for library is libdca. It's API compatible with libdts, libdca also installs libdts.pc (same as libdca.pc), dts.h (same as dca.h) but does not install libdts, but libdca instead. So trivial fix would be to allow linking also with -ldca.

The error message emitted by configure should also be fixed as it is now misleading. The error message at about line 2330 refers to the 'libdts' library, which clearly may no longer exist. See my attempt to note this in closed ticket 3860. IJR rejected this amendment as distribution specific. It appears that that may not be the case. Upstream (videolan) has changed the name. The error message should refer to both possibilities.
