I'm trying to add the ipset utility to my arm build so that I can group IP/ports for use in tc and netfilter. I was able to update the vendor supplied iptools2 recipe to install tc and iptables, but ipset is a fresh recipe, not included in another existing layer.

I'm adding the following in its bb file:

# -----------------------------------------------------------------
SRC_URI =  "file://ipset-7.6.tar.bz2"
SRC_URI[md5sum] = "3a6f5952fd1bcf0eefb9c7c087acbfc9"


inherit pkgconfig

S = "${WORKDIR}/ipset-7.6"

RDEPENDS_${PN} += "libmnl"

FILES_${PN} =  ""
# list will be populated once I know what the package wants to install

do_configure(){
        ./configure --prefix=/ --host=arm-linuxeabi
}

do_compile(){
        make DESTDIR=${D}
}

do_install(){
        oe_runmake install DESTDIR=${D}
}

# -----------------------------------------------------------------

problem is that it depends on libmnl (which already exists as a lower layer recipe), and the ipset configure script barfs on pkg-config with the following message.

| checking whether ln -s works... yes
| checking for libmnl... no
| configure: error: Package requirements (libmnl >= 1) were not met:
|
| No package 'libmnl' found
|
| Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
| installed software in a non-standard prefix.
|
| Alternatively, you may set the environment variables libmnl_CFLAGS
| and libmnl_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
| See the pkg-config man page for more details.
| WARNING: exit code 1 from a shell command.


the PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable seems correct under devshell, but there is no libmnl.pc file in there. How do I force libmnl to create and stage a proper pkg-config .pc file where it needs to be?
