Arch Linux

The x264 package (20131030-1) relies on {bin,lib,include}dir variables in the Makefile instead of using the appropriate --prefix configure flag.

This seems to be causing a problem with the generated .pc (pkg-config) file:

[~]☭ grep prefix /usr/lib/pkgconfig/x264.pc
prefix=/usr/local
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include
Libs: -L${exec_prefix}/lib -lx264
Cflags: -I${prefix}/include

[~]☭ pkg-config --libs --cflags x264
-I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -lx264

This is of course not where x264 is located.
