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=${CLFS_TARGET} \
--with-pc-path=/tools/lib/pkgconfig:/tools/share/pkgconfig
The meaning of the new configure option:
--host=${CLFS_TARGET}
Several packages that we will cross-compile later will try to
search for ${CLFS_TARGET}-pkg-config.
Setting this option ensures that Pkg-config-lite will create
a hard link in /cross-tools/bin
with this name, so that it will be used instead of any
similarly-named program that might exist on the host.
--with-pc-path
This sets the default PKG_CONFIG_PATH to /tools/lib/pkgconfig and /tools/share/pkgconfig.
Compile the package:
make
Install the package:
make install
