"PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/dir/with/foo.pc ./configure"
Thanks, but this only works if the package installed privately
installs foo.pc. Not every package does, since not every package
supports pkg-config in its source distribution.
That is true. A workaround woould be to copy the .pc-file that mentions foo
to a private directory, edit it to point to your private foo, and then set
PKG_CONFIG_PATH.
Alas, I couldn't find any documentation of the *.pc files' format, so
that I could edit the files.
It is in the man page for pkg-config.
pkg-config needs some kind of --use or --override switch so
we could do this easier.
Indeed. As things are now, it looks like the maintainers of
pkg-config didn't _want_ you to have the freedom to point it to the
non-default installation directories.
Its origin is form the Gnome project after all...
