Well shoot, I was just being lazy, let me try to save you a little bit of trouble...
As I recall, you need to point to the pkg-config executable by one of two methods: A. the directory containing the pkg-config executable is listed in your PATH environment variable, OR B. set an environment variable named PKG_CONFIG to the complete path including the name of the pkg-config executable. Note that PKG_CONFIG_PATH does NOT point to the pkg-config executable. PKG_CONFIG_PATH points to a list of the directories containing the pkg-config configuration info for the packages that will be configured. For example, using mingw under Windows, I set PKG_CONFIG_PATH as follows: #!/bin/sh export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=\ D:\\source\\gettext-dev-0.10.40-20020904\\lib\\pkgconfig\;\ D:\\source\\glib-dev-2.0.6-20020802\\lib\\pkgconfig\;\ D:\\source\\gtk+-dev-1.3.0-20020912\\lib\\pkgconfig echo PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH You ought to be able to adjust that to work with the appropriate path style and delimiters on your system.
