Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &pkgconfig-md5sum; Download size: &pkgconfig-size; Estimated disk space required: &pkgconfig-buildsize; Estimated build time: &pkgconfig-time; Pkg-config Dependencies Optional User Notes: Install pkg-config by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr && make To test the results, issue: make check. The check-requires-private test has been known to fail for undetermined reasons. Now, as the root user: make install --with-installed-glib: This parameter causes the package to use the installed glib2. This is to get rid of the internally used glib-1. The default setting for PKG_CONFIG_PATH is /usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig because of the prefix used to install pkg-config. You may add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH by exporting additional paths on your system where .pc files are installed. Note that PKG_CONFIG_PATH is only needed when compiling packages, not during run-time.
