Dependencies

Note

Pkg-config does NOT depend on an external Glib, It will always use its internal version.

Non-Multilib

Compile the package:

./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make

Install the package

make install

Multilib

This package does not provide any libraries so only one installation is needed.

--with-pc-path takes the libdir out of the default search path for .pc files. See the Bash Startup Files for help setting up a environment for use with this.

USE_ARCH=32 CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-pc-path=/usr/share/pkgconfig &&
make

Install the package

make install

Compile the package:

USE_ARCH=n32 CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" ./configure --prefix=/usr  --with-pc-path=/usr/share/pkgconfig &&
