- pkg-config
Guile's ./configure script uses pkg-config to discover the correct
- compile and link options for libgc and libffi. If you don't have
- pkg-config installed, or you have a version of libgc that doesn't
- provide a .pc file, you can work around this by setting some
- variables as part of the configure command-line:
+ compile and link options for libgc and libffi. For this to work,
+ the `PKG_CONFIG_PATH' environment variable must be set to point to
+ the places where libgc's and libffi's `.pc' files can be found:
+
+ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/libgc/lib/pkgconfig:/path/to/libffi/lib/pkgconfig
+
+ Alternatively, when pkg-config is not installed, you can work around
+ this by setting some variables as part of the configure
+ command-line:
- PKG_CONFIG=true
