Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBXML2_CFLAGS

startdict configure PKG_CONFIG 错误解决
编译 stardict源码的时候, configure出错, google了下, 好多 linuxer遇到同样的问题:


dorainm@coffee $ ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-gnome-support --with-x
.........

checking for xgettext... /usr/bin/xgettext
checking for catalogs to be installed... cs de el hu hr ku mk nl ru sk tt uk vi zh_CN zh_TW
Disable gnome support
checking for STARDICT... configure: error: The pkg-config script could not be found or is too old. Make sure it
is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full
path to pkg-config.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables STARDICT_CFLAGS
and STARDICT_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.

dorainm@coffee $


开始 dorainm以为 pkg-config没有装, 或者没有在 $PATH里面, 但是 xterm下直接输入 pkg-config, 可以出来


dorainm@coffee $ pkg-config
Must specify package names on command line
dorainm@coffee $

版本是 0.20的

dorainm@coffee $ pkg-config --version
0.20
dorainm@coffee $


而且 PKG_CONFIG_PATH也没有错误啊

dorainm@coffee $ echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig
dorainm@coffee $



注意到, 错误提示里面, 后半段是

set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full path to pkg-config.


环境变量 PKG_CONFIG 没有指向 pkg-config的完全路径, 看下 PKG_CONFIG

dorainm@coffee $ echo $PKG_CONFIG

dorainm@coffee $


的确是空的, 看下 pkg-config 在哪个目录里面


dorainm@coffee $ find / -type f -name 'pkg-config'
/usr/bin/pkg-config
dorainm@coffee $


现在设置环境变量, PKG_CONFIG

dorainm@coffee $ PKG_CONFIG=/usr/bin/pkg-config
dorainm@coffee $ echo $PKG_CONFIG
/usr/bin/pkg-config
dorainm@coffee $


设置好了, 重新 configure &*%$^@#%*@!)$)^&# 错误依旧...
突然想起来一样事情, expoort!

dorainm@coffee $ export PKG_CONFIG=/usr/bin/pkg-config
dorainm@coffee $ echo $PKG_CONFIG
/usr/bin/pkg-config
dorainm@coffee $



OKAY, 重新 configure, PASS!
