Description: Honour PKG_CONFIG environment variable
autoconf and several other build system respect the PKG_CONFIG environment
variable. This is useful e.g. for cross-building, where the "correct"
pkg-config/pkgconf binary should be used. Cf. from
/usr/share/doc/pkgconf-bin/README.md.gz:
.
In terms of the autoconf macro, it is possible to specify the
PKG_CONFIG environment variable, so that you can test pkgconf without
overwriting your pkg‐config binary. Some other build systems may also
respect the PKG_CONFIG environment variable.
.
To set the environment variable on the bourne shell and clones
(i.e. bash), you can run:
.
$ export PKG_CONFIG=/usr/bin/pkgconf
.
In Debian, PKG_CONFIG is already set and/or exported by dpkg
(/usr/share/dpkg/buildtools.mk) and by debhelper's EUMM and MB build
helpers.
.
This patch uses the value of PKG_CONFIG if it's set instead of the
hard-coded `pkg-config`.
