The following reply was made to PR ports/91213; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Joe Marcus Clarke <marcus@FreeBSD.org> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, anholt@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: ports/91213: pkg-config ignores autotools normal .pc directories Date: Sun, 26 Mar 2006 18:55:01 -0500 --=-PzgejjSdaxiCsmAWNkdp Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I didn't see a response to the question about setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH in the environment. Would that not be sufficient for your needs, Eric? The reason I'm hesitant to put this patch in is that there are some normal users out there that may be bitten when they install a piece of software outside the ports tree, then forget that those old .pc files are still under lib/pkgconfig. The PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable seems like the way to go in this case, but if you really want our pkgconfig to understand the standard paths by default, I would entertain a non-default patch that would enable searching of those directories based on a define make macro.
