Public bug reported: pkg-config has built-in paths that it searches:
$ pkg-config --variable pc_path pkg-config /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/share/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig However, these are absolute, so they are different in a snap. This results in scripts that use pkg-config failing (such as https://github.com/ros-simulation/gazebo_ros_pkgs/blob/kinetic- devel/gazebo_ros/scripts/gzserver#L26). One solution might be setting the correct default paths in the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable in the wrappers (similar to how PATH is treated). ** Affects: snapcraft (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1661070 Title: Default pkg-config paths not found To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapcraft/+bug/1661070/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
