[Buildroot] 2011.02 pkg-config problems?

[Buildroot] 2011.02 pkg-config problems?

[Joe Woodward]

Since moving from the 2010.11 release to the 2011.02 release I've had
problems with some files destined for the target ending up in rather
strange places.

For example, when doing a Xorg or TinyX build (with GTK/Pango/Cairo)
the X fonts used to be place in:

{TARGET}/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi
{TARGET}/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi
{TARGET}/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc   ...and so on

But now they end up in:

{TARGET}/home/MYBUILDUSERNAME/PATH/TO/BUILD/FOLDER/ON/HOST/MARCHINE/\
  ./output/host/usr/arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi/sysroot/usr/\
  ./share/fonts/X11/100dpi ...and so on

Has any else experienced this?

I'm fairly certain its due to the bumping of pkg-config and
tweaks to it's --sysroot patches.

Any ideas about what to do?

Cheers,
Joe

Some more information:

My build machine is running Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid).

Also, attached is a config that shows the problem when built using a
stock 2011.02 Buildroot.

Cheers,
Joe

Thanks for reporting this. The problem is that pkg-config doesn't have
any explicit support for cross compilation, so we have to guess if a
given variable refers to a target path or a host path. For this specific
problem you could work around it by passing an explicit
--with-fontrootdir=/usr/share/fonts/X11 to the configure step of the
xfonts packages, but I have fixed pkg-config in git to only prepend the
sysroot location when the includedir + libdir variables are requested,
and not all variables like we did for 2011.02:

Maybe we need to release 2011.02.1 with this fix ?

Possibly. Lets give it a few days and see if anything else shows
up.
