Introduction to Pkg-config

pkg-config is a tool to help you insert the correct compiler options on the command line when compiling applications and libraries.

Dependencies

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

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.

64Bit

Compile the package:

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

Install the package

make install
