You're going to have to argue on what is wrong with this... see comment #1 of bug #244840 From how I read the man page, it seemed that /usr/shar/pkgconfig wouldn't be searched:
pkg-config retrieves information about packages from special metadata files. These files are named after the package, with the extension .pc.
By default, pkg-config looks in the directory prefix/lib/pkgconfig for these files; it will also look in the colon-separated (on Windows, semi‐
colon-separated) list of directories specified by the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable.
I just now read further down where that is contradicted:
A colon-separated (on Windows, semicolon-separated) list of directories to search for .pc files. The default directory will always be
searched after searching the path; the default is libdir/pkgconfig:datadir/pkgconfig where libdir is the libdir where pkg-config and
datadir is the datadir where pkg-config was installed.
Closing as invalid then.
pkg-config upstream has a long outstanding manual bug with patches to still resolve. Upstream maintainer is AWOL I mean manual page patch to make it match reality in regards to default search path. |
