Hello.
As I realized while trying to port xerces-c version 3.1.1 in an test
environment as suggested in the porters handbook, the software, which is
capable of using the GNU autotoll environment, installs its xerces-c.pc
file into ${PREFIX}/lib/pkgconfig/ and not according the
FreeBSD paradigm into ${PREFIX}/libdata/pkgconfig/. I see three ports
having already installed their obviously mislead *.pc file into
${PREFIX}/lib/pkgconfig/ in real-world-installations (libvlc.pc,
lapackpp.pc and vlc-plugin.pc) on all of my FreeBSD boxes where these
packages are installed - every other package using pkg-config seems to
have their config files installed at the proper place and therefor
${PREFIX}/libdata/pkgconfig/ is well populated.
The question is: how can I trim my port's Makefile to accept and respect
FreeBSD's path? I tried to figure out what directive has to be set and
passed to any kind of environemnt, but the handbook silence this out. I
have a faint clue that all directives tagged *_PC_* has to do something
with this, but in ports I examined which install their pkg-config files
in the proper way I did not find any hint.
Please set me CC if responding due to I'm not subscriber of the list.
Thanks.
Oliver
