Ken, not that you've got it wrong, but we don't mention pkgconfig as dependency nowhere else in the BOOK, as we're assuming that is already installed. Strange but from a quick look in the book, we don't explicitly say that pkgconfig must be installed, although we're mentioning PKG_CONFIG_PATH twice, once in introduction/beyond.html and in the extrapaths.sh script into postlfs/profile.html page. Maybe I overlooked it. As a side note, the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH is not strictly required to be set in the login shell. It's only required in the build time, so it can be set either from scripts or to the parent shell, but I think most distributions have set it also, so it is just a personal observation, as I think we have to avoid polluting the environment with useless/unneeded stuff. :) Regards, Ag. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
