New description:
Currently we rewrite all of the local/lib/pkgconfig/*.pc files every time
we move locations. Instead, we should just use the --define-variable
option of pkg-config to define a ${SAGE_ROOT} variable. Then we don't have
to keep rewriting files every time.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR TESTING:
1. Download a fresh sage-4.7.alpha5.tar source archive
2. Extract and delete the spkg/standard/sage_scripts-4.7.alpha5.spkg
3. Put
http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/jason/sage_scripts-4.7.alpha5.p0.spkg
into the spkg/standard/ directory
4. Make Sage
Note to release manager: you have to edit the sage_scripts spkg-install to
copy over the pkg-config shell script; see my sage_scripts spkg above.
P.S. Why is the sage_scripts spkg-install not under version control?!?
