[Buildroot] pkgconfig confusion

[Buildroot] pkgconfig confusion

[Sven Neumann]

Hi,

I've tried to update to the latest buildroot snapshot today and ran into
a problem with pkg-config:

>>> pkgconfig undefined Extracting
gzip: /home/sven/buildroot-new/dl/pkgconfig-undefined.tar.gz: No such
file or directory
tar: This does not look like a tar archive

So I had a look at package/pkgconfig/pkgconfig.mk and found that it
defines all variables with the PKG_CONFIG prefix instead of using
PKGCONFIG. Changing this seems to fix the problem (see attached diff).
Alternatively one could rename pkgconfig/pkgconfig.mk to
pkg-config/pkg-config.mk.

Actually, the patch from my last mail changes a bit too much.
PKG_CONFIG_HOST_DIR and PKG_CONFIG_HOST_BINARY must not be changed as
other packages use these variables. Perhaps the best solution is really
to rename the package from pkgconfig to pkg-config.

This is pkg-config for the target. Is that really what you want?

Yes, the correct fix looks to be renaming the dir / file and the
AUTOTARGETS line.

Will fix.
