Hello all. While playing with phonon update (KDE 4.7.0 is on the horizont, actually), I stepped in a problem: not all variable names work in pkg-config. Here is normal case:
$ cat /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/phonon.pc prefix=/usr/local exec_prefix=/usr/local libdir=/usr/local/lib includedir=/usr/local/include buildsystemdir=/usr/local/share/phonon-buildsystem/ Name: Phonon Description: Phonon library needed to build applications Version: 4.5.0 Requires: QtCore QtGui QtDBus Libs: -L${libdir} -lphonon Cflags: -I${includedir} $ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/qt4/pkgconfig pkg-config --variable libdir phonon /usr/local/lib/qt4 And here is problematic call: $ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/qt4/pkgconfig pkg-config --variable buildsystemdir phonon Just another variable name, and we get no output here, but error code is 0. Same happens when no variable with specified name found - dunno if this is by design. Is this a known problem? After a brief look, didn't found any suscpious in pkg-config code. -- WBR, Vadim Zhukov
