Package: pkg-config
Version: 0.16.0-1
Severity: normal
This is related to 217902 but not exactly the same.
To cross-compile with pkg-config I simply want to tell pkg-config to use
a different default/base search directory. So instead of searching in
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/ I want it to look in
/usr/i586-mingw32msvc/lib/pkgconfig. I don't want it to look in
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/ at all.
According to the manual this should be possible using PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR.
>From the manual:
PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR
Replaces the default pkg-config search directory.
but this flat-out doesn't seem to work. It doesn't replace the default
search directory but (at best) adds a new default search directory. For
instance I can do
> export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR="/usr/i586-mingw32msvc/lib/pkgconfig"
> pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0
2.6.2
even though GTK is only installed system-wide; it's not in that libdir.
This seems like a flat-out bug in pkg-config.
