Public bug reported:
The x86_64-w64-mingw32-pkg-config program (i.e. the mingw toolchain's
pkg-config) ignores the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable. This
program is a simple shell script wrapper, and the offending line is as
follows:
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/${triplet}/pkgconfig:/usr/${triplet}/lib/pkgconfig
pkg-config $@
This of course discards whatever PKG_CONFIG_PATH was set in the
environment. This causes the cross compilation of VLC to fail, because
it expects to be alble to link to libraries it provides by setting
PKG_CONFIG_PATH. The solution is to change the x86_64-w64-mingw32-pkg-
config script to do something like the following
if [ -n "$PKG_CONFIG_PATH" ]; then
EXISTING=":$PKG_CONFIG_PATH"
fi
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/${triplet}/pkgconfig:/usr/${triplet}/lib/pkgconfig${EXISTING}
pkg-config $@
I'd submit a patch but i'm not entirely sure where and how to do it! If
anyone has a few pointers on this that'd be great.
