Comment(by gespinasse):
Thank for the info for the .pc file location.
I think it's wrong to remove --libdir=/lib and manually move the shared
lib because the .pc file is different and define libdir not where the
shared lib will be.
I tested
{{{
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install pkgconfigdir=/usr/lib/pkgconfig
}}}
This change the .pc file to
{{{
prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include
Name: zlib
Description: zlib compression library
Version: 1.2.4
Requires:
Libs: -L${libdir} -lz
Cflags: -I${includedir}
}}}
when with --libdir=/lib, it was
{{{
prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include
Name: zlib
Description: zlib compression library
Version: 1.2.4
Requires:
Libs: -L${libdir} -lz
Cflags: -I${includedir}
}}}
So libdir define the wrong place in the .pc file when --libdir is not used
and the shared lib is moved to /lib manually.[[BR]]
Maybe those instructions could make everyone happy with
{{{
./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/lib
make
make install pkgconfigdir=/usr/lib/pkgconfig
mv /lib/libz.a /usr/lib
}}}
(and change the perl sed or perl may link against libz.a)
