[csw-maintainers] "pkgconfig --exist ..." is telling porkies

[James Lee]

Anyone understand pkgconfig?  This looks easy but I'm blind as to why
it's not working:

build8s:/home/james$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/csw/lib/pkgconfig
build8s:/home/james$ if /opt/csw/bin/pkg-config --exists 'gtk+-2.0'
if> then
then>    echo YES
then> else
else>    echo NO
else> fi
sh: gnome-config: not found
NO
build8s:/home/james$ ls -l /opt/csw/lib/pkgconfig/gtk+-2.0.pc
-rw-r--r--   1 root     bin          345 Jun  7  2008
/opt/csw/lib/pkgconfig/gtk+-2.0.pc



There seems to be a dependency problem but I still can't work out what's
gone missing:

$ /opt/csw/bin/pkg-config --libs 'gtk+-2.0'
sh: gnome-config: not found
Package xcb was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xcb.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'xcb', required by 'cairo', not found



Help!  I'm close to editing "if true" in to my good friend the
configure file.
