I wouldn't know. I just type a pkg-config command line into a search engine, and it turned up "Guide to pkg-config - FreeDesktop.Org" which points to: https://people.freedesktop.org/~dbn/pkg-config-guide.html That page says that each library comes with a <name>.pc file, so I looked at the Debian packages page for unixodbc-dev and saw that there were three .pc files. Perhaps these are the names of the libraries that are being configured (or is it 'quizzed about their configuration'). Cheers, David.
