Description Andreas Kotes 2009-06-15 10:03:10 UTC

$ pkg-config --atleast-pkgconfig-version 0.20
$ echo $?
0

but

$ pkg-config --define-variable=prefix=foo --atleast-pkgconfig-version 0.20
$ echo $?
1

.. so using PKG_CONFIG to override a prefix doesn't work with configures that test pkg-config's version this way.

Moo.

As a workaround, if you use the same sort of options (with or without =), it works better:

: tfheen@qurzaw ~ > pkg-config --define-variable=prefix=foo  --atleast-pkgconfig-version=0.20
: tfheen@qurzaw ~ > echo $?
0
: tfheen@qurzaw ~ > pkg-config --define-variable prefix=foo  --atleast-pkgconfig-version 0.20
: tfheen@qurzaw ~ > echo $?
0


I agree it looks like a bug in the popt option parsing library, it ought to allow you to mix a bit more freely.
