Note

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

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.

Compile the package:

USE_ARCH=64 CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-pc-path=/usr/share/pkgconfig &&
