We can easily generate these at package build time.
Yes, I think short-term generating pkgconf.pc/pkg-config.pc instead of using the in-built ones would be good. Long-term this should be fixed upstream, and the upstream agreed. > I suspect solving this in C would amount to rewriting the builtin > mechanism in a dynamic way that can introspect personality > properties. I'd like to avoid that. Yes, it’s not a delta I would like to maintain, but if the upstream implemented this, it would be great :) -- Cheers, Andrej
