6.19.2. Contents of Pkg-config
Installed program:
pkg-config
Installed directory:
/usr/share/doc/pkg-config-0.29.1
The pkg-config package contains a tool for passing the include path and/or library paths to build tools during the configure and make file execution.
Prepare Pkg-config for compilation:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--with-internal-glib \
--disable-compile-warnings \
--disable-host-tool \
--docdir=/usr/share/doc/pkg-config-0.29.1
The meaning of the new configure options:
--with-internal-glib
This will allow pkg-config to use its internal version of Glib because an external version is not available in LFS.
--disable-compile-warnings
This option prevents the build system from using compiler flags which cause build failure when building with GCC 6.
--disable-host-tool
This option disables the creation of an undesired hard link to the pkg-config program.
Compile the package:
make
To test the results, issue:
make check
Install the package:
make install
