Description Yevgen Muntyan 2007-01-09 10:37:53 UTC 
$ /usr/bin/pkg-config --define-variable=foo=foo --variable target gdk-2.0
$ /usr/bin/pkg-config --variable target gdk-2.0
x11

For instance, "pkg-config --define-variable=prefix=foo --variable target
gdk-2.0" doesn't work, and I have to work it around when using gtk pc files
(they have prefix=C:\blahblah which has to be overridden).

This is a definite bug in the ancient bundled popt, and there's a test for this particular case. You can build with a newer external popt in the meantime if this bug is critical to you.

Should be fixed in e512071. Please reopen if there's still a bug.
