#19511: py25-cairo: pkgconfig file in non-standard location ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: devans@… | Owner: mcalhoun@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.7.1 Resolution: worksforme | Keywords: pkgconfig Port: py25-cairo | ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Changes (by devans@…): * status: assigned => closed * resolution: => worksforme Comment: Replying to [comment:2 blb@…]:
Per the pkg-config man page, setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH:
The default directory will always be searched after searching the path
So unless the python-specific pkgconfig dir somehow overrides something in ${prefix}/lib/pkgconfig (which shouldn't happen), all should be fine.
Perhaps setting {{{configure.pkg_config_path}}} could also be done in the python port groups?
Thanks for straightening me out on this. I had assumed that the value of PKG_CONFIG_PATH would replace the standard one entirely. But this works with gnome-python-desktop as committed in r50527. I agree it would good to add this setting to the python port groups (although it wouldn't have helped here) and the need to do this for the various py*-cairo ports should be more publicly documented somehow -- perhaps in a FAQ? -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19511#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
