How to adjust PKG_CONFIG_PATH?

How to adjust PKG_CONFIG_PATH?

Hi,

I'm packaging 'udev'. It fails with the following error:

checking for USBUTILS... no
configure: error: Package requirements (usbutils >= 0.82) were not met:

No package 'usbutils' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables USBUTILS_CFLAGS
and USBUTILS_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Can I use 'set-path-environment-variable' for this purpose? How?

Nikita

Hi,

Does /nix/store/*-usbutils/lib/pkgconfig/usbutils.pc exist?  If it does,
is it version >= 0.82?

What’s the value of PKG_CONFIG_PATH in the ‘environment-variables’ file
of the build tree of the udev?

The procedure ‘set-paths’ in gnu-build-system.scm adds any input that
has a lib/pkgconfig sub-directory to $PKG_CONFIG_PATH.  You can see it
in ‘environment-variables’, or at the beginning of the build log:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
starting phase `set-paths'
environment variable `PATH' set to `...'
environment variable `CPATH' set to `...'
environment variable `LIBRARY_PATH' set to `...'
environment variable `PKG_CONFIG_PATH' set to `/nix/store/0s3wsb0dbw17pwyzm19kwssl4qfiyz9j-libffi-3.0.9/lib/pkgconfig:/nix/store/yn0npyhlff8m5vm278sxxfw4n40vmfdd-libgc-7.2alpha6/lib/pkgconfig:/nix/store/hbvm6c849x9cxhrq912ywg2nm8yhjjig-xz-5.0.4/lib/pkgconfig'
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

HTH,
Ludo’.

There is no 'lib' at all.

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/nix/store/1qbbjlk4y0x4284rslawk6mxn93wvdba-util-linux-2.21/lib/pkgconfig:/nix/store/qwd8kh9mkpq3jmn92yhcw95d9c26azv2-kmod-12/lib/pkgconfig:/nix/store/1x3fy2fs9p4k80asqcasji82lhhfb5hp-libusb-1.0.9/lib/pkgconfig:/nix/store/5z1yxm70zcsgkmdshg8xg8gpzkpwg48c-xz-5.0.4/lib/pkgconfig"

Hmm.  I just checked and usbutils in Nixpkgs doesn’t have ‘lib’ either.

Can you check how udev in Nixpkgs works around the issue?

TIA,

There are previous versions. I don't see anything relevant there.
