Alas, I couldn't find any documentation of the *.pc files' format, so
that I could edit the files.
It is in the man page for pkg-config.
What man page? I'm quite sure I tried man pkg-config and didn't
find it there.
Hmm, there may be version differences. Here is what my man-page says:
METADATA FILE SYNTAX
To add a library to the set of packages pkg-config knows about, simply
install a .pc file. You should install this file to libdir/pkgconfig.
Here is an example file:
# This is a comment
prefix=/home/hp/unst # this defines a variable
exec_prefix=${prefix} # defining another variable in terms of the first
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include
Name: GObject# human-readable name
Description: Object/type system for GLib # human-readable description
Version: 1.3.1
URL: http://www.gtk.org
Requires: glib-2.0 = 1.3.1
Conflicts: foobar = 4.5
Libs: -L${libdir} -lgobject-1.3
Libs.private: -lm
Cflags: -I${includedir}/glib-2.0 -I${libdir}/glib/include
You would normally generate the file using configure, of course, so
that the prefix, etc. are set to the proper values.
Files have two kinds of line: keyword lines start with a keyword plus a
colon, and variable definitions start with an alphanumeric string plus
an equals sign. Keywords are defined in advance and have special mean-
ing to pkg-config; variables do not, you can have any variables that
you wish (however, users may expect to retrieve the usual directory
name variables).
Note that variable references are written ${foo}; you can escape lit-
eral ${ as $${.
Name: This field should be a human-readable name for the package. Note
that it is not the name passed as an argument to pkg-config.
Description:
This should be a brief description of the package
URL: An URL where people can get more information about and download
the package
Version:
This should be the most-specific-possible package version
string.
Requires:
This is a comma-separated list of packages that are required by
your package. Flags from dependent packages will be merged in to
the flags reported for your package. Optionally, you can specify
the version of the required package (using the operators =, ,
, =, =); specifying a version allows pkg-config to perform
extra sanity checks. You may only mention the same package one
time on the Requires: line. If the version of a package is
unspecified, any version will be used with no checking.
Conflicts:
This optional line allows pkg-config to perform additional san-
ity checks, primarily to detect broken user installations. The
syntax is the same as Requires: except that you can list the
same package more than once here, for example foobar = 1.2.3,
foobar = 1.2.5, foobar = 1.3, if you have reason to do so. If
a version isn’t specified, then your package conflicts with all
versions of the mentioned package. If a user tries to use your
package and a conflicting package at the same time, then pkg-
config will complain.
Libs: This line should give the link flags specific to your package.
Don’t add any flags for required packages; pkg-config will add
those automatically.
Libs.private:
This line should list any private libraries in use. Private
libraries are libraries which are not exposed through your
library, but are needed in the case of static linking.
Cflags:
This line should list the compile flags specific to your pack-
age. Don’t add any flags for required packages; pkg-config will
add those automatically.

Re: Directory name completion blocks when it shouldn't
Richard Stallman [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: On the other hand, cd does use read-directory-name.

doc strings of variable-at-point and find-variable
These doc strings don't describe the position of the variable well: The variable-at-point doc string mentions nothing about using a variable near point - it says only around point, which suggests that only a variable at point is used. The find-variable doc string mentions using a variable near point, but this suggests that the nearest variable will be used, which is not always the case. The actual variable used seems to be the one before or at point, even if there is a closer one after point. I didn't check all cases, but perhaps it would be more correct to say at or before point for both doc strings. Perhaps something also needs to be said about the possible distance before point.

using the first three buttons in the tool bar

Xlib: sequence lost (0x19cc0 0x9cc1) in reply type 0xa! Connection lost to X server `:0.0' zsh: exit 70./emacs and Emacs terminates immediately. - third symptom: the selection dialogue opens, but hangs shortly after that; this can be when I use the C-l command, or when I accept the chose file; the dialogue window does not close, and the Emacs window displays a rotating circle; in the xterm calling Emacs there is the following message: Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0xd2c1)!
