Currently the pc files use hard coded paths for "includedir" and "libdir."
Example: Cflags: -I/usr/include Libs: -L/usr/lib -lpq This is not very fortunate when cross compiling inside a buildroot, where the includes and libs are inside a staging directory, because this introduces host paths into the build: checking for pkg-config... /builder/shared-workdir/build/sdk/staging_dir/host/bin/pkg-config checking for PostgreSQL libraries via pkg_config... -L/usr/lib <---- This commit addresses this by doing the following two things: 1. Instead of hard coding the paths in "Cflags" and "Libs" "${includedir}" and "${libdir}" are used. Note: these variables can be overriden on the pkg-config command line ("--define-variable=libdir=/some/path"). 2. Add the variables "prefix" and "exec_prefix". If "includedir" and/or "libdir" are using these then construct them accordingly. This is done because buildroots (for instance OpenWrt) tend to rename the real pkg-config and call it indirectly from a script that sets "prefix", "exec_prefix" and "bindir", like so: pkg-config.real --define-variable=prefix=${STAGING_PREFIX} \ --define-variable=exec_prefix=${STAGING_PREFIX} \ --define-variable=bindir=${STAGING_PREFIX}/bin $@ Example #1: user calls ./configure with "--libdir=/some/lib" and "--includedir=/some/include": prefix=/usr/local/pgsql exec_prefix=/usr/local/pgsql includedir=/some/include libdir=/some/lib Name: libpq Description: PostgreSQL libpq library Url: http://www.postgresql.org/ Version: 12.1 Requires: Requires.private: Cflags: -I${includedir} Libs: -L${libdir} -lpq Libs.private: -lcrypt -lm Example #2: user calls ./configure with no arguments: prefix=/usr/local/pgsql exec_prefix=/usr/local/pgsql includedir=${prefix}/include libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib Name: libpq Description: PostgreSQL libpq library Url: http://www.postgresql.org/ Version: 12.1 Requires: Requires.private: Cflags: -I${includedir} Libs: -L${libdir} -lpq Libs.private: -lcrypt -lm Like this the paths can be forced into the staging directory when using a buildroot setup: checking for pkg-config... /home/sk/tmp/openwrt/staging_dir/host/bin/pkg-config checking for PostgreSQL libraries via pkg_config... -L/home/sk/tmp/openwrt/staging_dir/target-mips_24kc_musl/usr/lib Signed-off-by: Sebastian Kemper <sebastian...@gmx.net> --- src/Makefile.shlib | 19 ++++++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/Makefile.shlib b/src/Makefile.shlib index 29a7f6d38c..33c23dabdd 100644 --- a/src/Makefile.shlib +++ b/src/Makefile.shlib @@ -387,14 +387,27 @@ endif # PORTNAME == cygwin || PORTNAME == win32 %.pc: $(MAKEFILE_LIST) - echo 'Name: lib$(NAME)' >$@ + echo 'prefix=$(prefix)' >$@ + echo 'exec_prefix=$(exec_prefix)' >>$@ +ifeq ($(patsubst $(prefix)/%,,$(includedir)),) + echo 'includedir=$${prefix}/$(patsubst $(prefix)/%,%,$(includedir))' >>$@ +else + echo 'includedir=$(includedir)' >>$@ +endif +ifeq ($(patsubst $(exec_prefix)/%,,$(libdir)),) + echo 'libdir=$${exec_prefix}/$(patsubst $(exec_prefix)/%,%,$(libdir))' >>$@ +else + echo 'libdir=$(libdir)' >>$@ +endif + echo >>$@ + echo 'Name: lib$(NAME)' >>$@ echo 'Description: PostgreSQL lib$(NAME) library' >>$@ echo 'Url: $(PACKAGE_URL)' >>$@ echo 'Version: $(VERSION)' >>$@ echo 'Requires: ' >>$@ echo 'Requires.private: $(PKG_CONFIG_REQUIRES_PRIVATE)' >>$@ - echo 'Cflags: -I$(includedir)' >>$@ - echo 'Libs: -L$(libdir) -l$(NAME)' >>$@ + echo 'Cflags: -I$${includedir}' >>$@ + echo 'Libs: -L$${libdir} -l$(NAME)' >>$@ # Record -L flags that the user might have passed in to the PostgreSQL # build to locate third-party libraries (e.g., ldap, ssl).
