Package: pkg-config
Version: 0.16.0-1
Severity: normal


This is related to 217902 but not exactly the same.

To cross-compile with pkg-config I simply want to tell pkg-config to use
a different default/base search directory.  So instead of searching in
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/ I want it to look in
/usr/i586-mingw32msvc/lib/pkgconfig.  I don't want it to look in
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/ at all.

According to the manual this should be possible using PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR.
>From the manual:

       PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR
                     Replaces the default pkg-config search directory.

but this flat-out doesn't seem to work.  It doesn't replace the default
search directory but (at best) adds a new default search directory.  For
instance I can do

  > export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR="/usr/i586-mingw32msvc/lib/pkgconfig"
  > pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0
  2.6.2

even though GTK is only installed system-wide; it's not in that libdir.

This seems like a flat-out bug in pkg-config.

(see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=303428)

The bug appears to be fixed in pkg-config 0.21-1. I certainly can't reproduce your test case anymore.
