Description of problem: The pkg-config tool provides a easy way for applications to locate dependant libraries and determine what the compiler/linker flags are. If libraries provide a pkg-config definition file, then an application using that library merely has to add this to their configure.in GTK_REQUIRED=2.10.0 PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GTK, gtk+-2.0 >= $GTK_REQUIRED) AC_SUBST(GTK_CFLAGS) AC_SUBST(GTK_LIBS) Furthermore, this trivially alllows developers to install the library into alternate locations and still have the application build correctly, simply by setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH to the alternate install root The qpidc-devel package has no pkg-config definition file, meaning that application using qpid have to write a bucketload of custom configure.in macros for qpid. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): qpidc-devel-0.2.667603-2.fc9.i386 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. pkg-config --libs qpidc 2. 3. Actual results: Package qpidc was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `qpidc.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'qpidc' found Expected results: -lqpidc Additional info: This libvirt.pc.in file demonstrates how you'd write a pkg-config definition file: http://git.et.redhat.com/?p=libvirt.git;a=blob_plain;f=libvirt.pc.in;hb=HEAD You'd also add libvirt.pc to the AC_OUTPUT() macro, so it gets subsituted with the correct $prefix given to configure, and in Makefile.am you'd add something like pkgconfigdir = $(libdir)/pkgconfig pkgconfig_DATA = libvirt.pc to make it install in the correct location
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Moved this bug to f11, it's still valid.

Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
