Description Reuben Thomas 2017-02-21 13:45:02 UTC 
pkg-config.1 in current git (commit c53385b5) says:

  Similar to PKG_CHECK_MODULES, make sure that the first instance of
  this or PKG_CHECK_MODULES is called, or make sure to call
  PKG_CHECK_EXISTS manually.

In the last line of that, should it say "PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG" rather than "PKG_CHECK_EXISTS"? In the case of PKG_CHECK_MODULES, it says:

  Note that if there is a possibility the first call to
  PKG_CHECK_MODULES might not happen, you should be sure to include an
  explicit call to PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG in your configure.ac.

i.e. if the first call to PKG_CHECK_MODULES might not happen, then PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG should be called. Presumably the same is meant for PKG_CHECK_EXISTS?
