Oh cool :) Is there a better way to get this fix into my Trusty install other than just manually changing the file to use PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR?

This program is a simple shell script wrapper, and the offending line is as follows: PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/${triplet}/pkgconfig:/usr/${triplet}/lib/pkgconfig pkg-config $@ This of course discards whatever PKG_CONFIG_PATH was set in the environment. This causes the cross compilation of VLC to fail, because it expects to be alble to link to libraries it provides by setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH. The solution is to change the x86_64-w64-mingw32-pkg- config script to do something like the following if [ -n "$PKG_CONFIG_PATH" ]; then EXISTING=":$PKG_CONFIG_PATH" fi PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/${triplet}/pkgconfig:/usr/${triplet}/lib/pkgconfig${EXISTING} pkg-config $@ I'd submit a patch but i'm not entirely sure where and how to do it! If anyone has a few pointers on this that'd be great.
