           Summary: .pc files for mingw32 library include the sysroot
           Product: Fedora

        Depends on: 513825
    Classification: Fedora
    Target Release: ---


Description of problem:
The paths in the .pc files for mingw32 include the
/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root component.  This would prevent using them within
the MSYS shell, for example.

It would be more correct to install them without the path and, in a
i686-pc-mingw32-pkg-config (see bug 513825), provide the PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR
variable.  The script would work like this then:

#! /bin/sh

PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR=`i686-pc-mingw32-gcc --print-sysroot`
prefix=$PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR/mingw
PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=$prefix/lib/pkgconfig:$prefix/share/pkgconfig
export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR # PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR
exec pkg-config "$@"
