That's why I ask. A global configuration option for such a path would make it a common configuration option among all software packages. And it would make it easier for the distribution packagers. I find /usr/lib/pkgconfig more logical, too, as the .pc file belong to the library and /usr/lib might be shared among the systems with the same arch while /usr/share might be shared among systems even with a different arch. pkg-config searches in both by default. On Windows, this doesn't matter. HS _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list CMake@cmake.org http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
