Actually, the code you excerpted was generated by this stanza in the pkg.m4 file: if test -z "$PKG_CONFIG"; then AC_PATH_PROG(PKG_CONFIG, pkg-config, no) fi So, really, the problem is how *autoconf* expands/defines the AC_PATH_PROG macro. Cygwin has recently updated to autoconf-2.53, maybe the code genereated by 2.53 is more to your liking? Anyway, I think this is an autoconf issue, not a pkgconfig one. So, the appropriate ChangeLogs to search would be the autoconf ones. Hope that helps... --Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
