Description Luca Barbato gentoo-dev

It has been fixed in the current bzr tree, would be possible provide a snapshot?

To reproduce try to pass a value to PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR env var, issue a pkg-config --libs and see the -L part being replaced and the -l part being wiped

minimal patch to fix the behaviour http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pkg-config/attachments/20080122/424351fe/attachment.ksh

doesn't sound too crazy and upstream included it.

I'll look at this and other pkg-config bugs this weekend

Comment 4 Maksim 'max_posedon' Melnikau 2009-05-07 16:39:15 UTC

Patch works for me,

# PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR=/usr/armv4tl-softfloat-linux-gnueabi PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/armv4tl-softfloat-linux-gnueabi/usr/lib/pkgconfig PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_SYSTEM_LIBS=1 pkg-config --libs openssl
-L/usr/armv4tl-softfloat-linux-gnueabi/usr/lib -lssl -lcrypto -ldl

# PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR=/usr/armv4tl-softfloat-linux-gnueabi PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/armv4tl-softfloat-linux-gnueabi/usr/lib/pkgconfig pkg-config --libs openssl
-lssl -lcrypto -ldl

ebuild can be taken here:
http://gentoo.mindzoo.de/index.cgi/browser/openmoko/trunk/openmoko-target/dev-util/pkgconfig

basically just simple, epatch fix.

In order to get cross build working always I had to update locally to the last commit in their bzr repo, looks like a snapshot could be a nicer solution...

The fix appears to be in pkgconfig-0.25.
