Oops, sorry, hit the wrong key.

Here are the details:

> pkg-config uses some optional entries in the Registry: Firstly, the
> path to the pkgconfig installation prefix. This can be either
> user-specific in HKCU\Software\pkgconfig\InstallationDirectory or for
> the whole machine in HKLM\Software\pkgconfig\InstallationDirectory.

I don't see any trace of it in the code. I guess it is fully glib-magic now.

> Additionally, in addition to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment
> variables, any string value in the Registry key
> HKLM\Software\pkgconfig\PKG_CONFIG_PATH (or HKCU\...) is assumed to be

No trace of that either.

Is the doc outdated or am I missing something? Is there a patched version of pkg-config for win32 with the registry access code?

The registry entries were removed a few years ago in commit dce0339 as you found.

Fixed in 454dd17. Thanks for the report.
