Pkg-config-lite is a tool to help you insert the correct compiler options on the command line when compiling applications and libraries.
Several packages in the temporary system will use pkg-config to find various
required and optional dependencies. Unfortunately, this could
result in those packages finding libraries on the host system and
trying to link against them, which will not work. To avoid this
problem, we will install a pkg-config binary in /cross-tools and configure it so that it will
look for Pkg-config files only in /tools.
Prepare Pkg-config-lite for compilation:
./configure --prefix=/cross-tools --host=${CLFS_TARGET} \
--with-pc-path=/tools/lib64/pkgconfig:/tools/share/pkgconfig
The meaning of the new configure option:
--host=${CLFS_TARGET}
This option makes sure the installation includes the proper {$CLFS_TARGET}-pkg-config to be detected and used when cross-compiling some tools in the temporary system and boot chapter.
--with-pc-path
This sets the default PKG_CONFIG_PATH to /tools/lib64/pkgconfig and /tools/share/pkgconfig.
Compile the package:
make
Install the package:
make install
