try PKG_CONFIG_PATH_CUSTOM

This pkgconf library has been an absolute nightmare for me. Been debugging for hours why my PKG_CONFIG_PATH additions dont seem to be honored. How am I supposed to solve this?

Hi, it's both unexpected and very annoying that this completely ignores any PKG_CONFIG_PATH that I set myself, this really should be:

"""

When using the mingw32msvc cross compiler tools, the native Linux
pkg-config executable works fine as long as the default PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR
is overridden.

export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=$PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR:/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib/pkgconfig

Also want to override the standard user defined PKG_CONFIG_PATH with
a mingw32msvc specific one.
You can use PKG_CONFIG_PATH_CUSTOM to tweak pkg-config behavior further

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib/pkgconfig """

since neither of these variables are defined by default, and a build system or developer may want to point at their own version of said project instead of the system wide one.

By the way, I am trying package mingw-w64-spice-gtk, which requires another modification in the scripts. The spice-protocol package will install spice-protocol.pc in the /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/share/pkgconfig/ which is not supported by this script.

We can add share/pkgconfig to the default search path:

export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib/pkgconfig

export PKG_CONFIG_SHAREDIR=/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/share/pkgconfig

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH_CUSTOM:$PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR:$PKG_CONFIG_SHAREDIR

@xantares

For example, I want my program be linked with openssl-1.0:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH_CUSTOM=/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib/openssl-1.0/pkgconfig/

The default version of openssl is not changed:

x86_64-w64-mingw32-pkg-config --modversion openssl

The output is 1.1.1

But when I change the order of PKG_CONFIG_PATH_CUSTOM and PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR, the output becomes 1.0.2p

do you have a testcase for me to test ?

crab2313 commented on 2018-09-18 16:46 (UTC)

It doesn't work well with meson. For programs trying to find openssl-1.0, if I set PKG_CONFIG_PATH_CUSTOM to the path to openssl-1.0/pkgconfig, meson will still complains that openssl-1.1 is not meet our requirements.

manually change the scripts solve the problem, like this:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH_CUSTOM:$PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR

Hi, Would it be possible to include not only $PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig but also $PREFIX/share/pkgconfig to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH? At least eigen uses that directory. Also, it seems a bit strange to me to require the user of the script to export PKG_CONFIG_PATH_CUSTOM instead of PKG_CONFIG_PATH. Doesn’t that break the expected interface of the pkg-config binary? Why not just reuse PKG_CONFIG_PATH if it already exists? Thanks.

hi, you could have a single mingw-pkg-config.sh source in which you replace the target triple instead of having twice the same script, like I did here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mingw-w64-cmake/ xan.
