This is *very* misleading. I spent an hour trying to understand why it can't find a package. I set PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to win32 pkgconfig dir, and PKG_CONFIG_PATH to whatever pkgconfig dirs I have, so I supposed PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR will take care of not searching /usr/lib/pkgconfig *and* PKG_CONFIG_PATH will be searched as usual. Fix put in bzr, thanks for notifying me. As this has been released, I'm closing this bug. |

PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR Replaces the default pkg-config search directory. It actually sets the pkg-config search PATH and overries and PKG_CONFIG_PATH if set. (The second is a little surprising, but makes sense, the first is a noticable difference).
