Hi.

the .pc files in both packages install the .pc files in /usr/lib

due is a headers only/set defines packages, this .pc files maybe set installed in archtitecture agnostic path, like /usr/share/pkgconfig


in the packagebuidls have this lines added 13/11y ago

https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/blob/packages/xorg-util-macros/trunk/PKGBUILD#L27-L28
https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/blob/packages/xtrans/trunk/PKGBUILD#L29-L30

maybe need remove and leave untouched the upstream behavior

greetings

Afaik there's no strict rule from FHS but in the recent years files moved over /usr/lib.

and what happen with multilib builds when use headers-only package?. 32builds .pc files is stored in /usr/lib32/pkgconfig. no interfiere when that build search that pkgfiles when use PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/lib32/pkgconfig"?

Using PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/lib32/pkgconfig" still leaves /usr/lib/pkgconfig in the search path, so it would work but this is wrong. You should be using PKG_CONFIG="i686-pc-linux-gnu-pkg-config" instead, which properly switches out lib with lib32. In that case, we do need architecture-independent stuff in /usr/share/pkgconfig.

hi

PKG_CONFIG="i686-pc-linux-gnu-pkg-config" is it used in any arch packages at the moment? because PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/lib32/pkgconfig" is how arch package guidelines dict https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/32-bit_package_guidelines

I've never seen those lib32 guidelines before. They're simply wrong, and not just on the pkg-config issue.

@heftig sorry the late


then something happen in offical multilib repository. all lib32 packages i see in it uses the wiki lib32 package guideline convention. so, what i need to do?

@sl1pkn07 perhaps the lib32-pkgconf.txt attached helps. The diffs are of the small group that used both methods. Converting the 185 across would take somewhat longer.
   lib32-pkgconf.txt (3.8 KiB)
   lib32-glu.diff (0.4 KiB)
   lib32-json-c.diff (0.4 KiB)
