Note

Pkg-config is met when using CLFS Development (2.0) or later. If using CLFS Development (2.0) or later, then use Pkg-config-0.27.1 using --with-internal-glib configure switch.

Compile the package:

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

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.
