Randall Leeds commented on COUCHDB-562:
---------------------------------------
The reason the macro is a conditional set is that it also modifies the help
text to indicate the variables can be set on the command line to override
pkg-config.
The pkg-config macros are set up to obsolete the with vars for common cases,
but in order not to break existing packaging I kept both here and the result,
as you note, is rather strange.
Technically, pkg-config is only a release dependency, not a build dependency.
Would you rather just dispose of the --with and change the install
instructions? Or if we want be nice to packagers we could push this with a
deprecation note on the with vars and drop a version without with vars later.
If it's not too aggressive we could do this now with 1.1.x and trunk.

> If you build the couchdb from the source with a prefix set and
> --with-js-[lib|include] option the resulting couchjs programm in
> <prefix>/lib/couchdb/bin/couchjs does not know where to find the specified
> libmozjs.so which was specified in with-js-lib. This causes that quite all
> test will fail.
> To fix this the rpath has to setup during the compile. I don't had a look
> where to do this.
