I think the occurrence of "which" was just for explanational purposes: it merely signifies to check for the presence of the "pkg-config" tool.. > Second: how will this be affected in cross-compilation where the target > system has and the host system does not, or vice versa? Will it matter, both > in the case of standard and non-standard locations? (Well, really, in the > four cases.) That is indeed a tricky question. I personally have not yet figured out how to handle this consistently. There are several solutions to this: ignore the pkg-config spec for targets, require a specially named pkg-config for the target, having another set of env-vars for overriding the setting or other ways that have been overlooked. But it certainly is an important issue. felix
