xtrans-1.2.5 installs bits in $prefix/share/pkgconfig instead of $prefix/lib/pkgconfig

[omero]

For xtrans-1.2.5, Makefile.am defines: pkgconfigdir = $(datadir)/pkgconfig

when it should read: pkgconfigdir = $(libdir)/pkgconfig

[omero]

After some research, it seems that it's been done on pourpose (to help cross-compilation). This implies however that for building the Xorg lib section by BLFS (svn-20091109), $prefix/share/pkgconfig needs to be added to PKG_CONFIG_PATH.

It's not very clear, but I'm pretty sure that that path is in the default search path for pkg-config.

Snippet from configure file:

pc_path='${libdir}/pkgconfig:${datadir}/pkgconfig'

and, pkg-config --list-all|grep xtrans gives me a hit with no PKG_CONFIG_PATH set.

Should have mentioned: from the pkg-config configure file...

Oops. Assuming prefix=/usr.

In my case, XORG_PREFIX=/usr/X11R7 and of course I had to export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/X11R7/lib/pkgconfig earlier as per suggestions at the end of ch.23 - Introduction to Xorg 7.5 under the "Setting up the Xorg Build Environment" paragraph.

Maybe it's possible to change

If you've decided to use an alternate prefix, be sure to add $XORG_PREFIX/bin to your PATH environment variable and $XORG_PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig

to also mention $XORG_PREFIX/share/pkgconfig.

Ah, yes I was.

Seems reasonable enough.
