[Mingw-cross-env-list] PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG(0.16) not recognized?

[Scott Douglass]

Hi,


I'm getting an error building mxe-conf (the second time, for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu?) that looks like autoconf is not recognizing PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG(0.16) (whole log below)

./configure: line 1787: syntax error near unexpected token `0.16'

./configure: line 1787: `PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG(0.16)'


I've checked that I'm using autoconf 2.69 which is new enough according to http://mxe.cc/#requirements


I'm using a clean clone of 90bec5d.


Any ideas what I'm doing wrong or how I can approach debugging this? Thanks.


[The question I'm really trying to get to is "How do I build an x86_64-w64-mingw32.static gcc that has a working -fprofile-generate/libgcov?". I figured I'd start by getting a clean build from a fresh clone, but I ran into this problem first.]

It’s a deliberate early fail if your autotools/libtool/pkgconf aren’t working together. It’s not
sufficient to test for versions, they have to be installed in the same paths using the same *.m4
files etc.

This isn’t required for gcc so I’ve moved the test to the autotools package:
https://github.com/mxe/mxe/commit/e9b65d556af7d737433ba3732d2a734c27de63ac

Cheers,

Tony

You’d need to either install libtool/pkgconf in /arm/tools/gnu or remove the auto* tools from there.
You could try:

make autotools MXE_PLUGIN_DIRS=plugins/native

to build a set of tools that we automatically use on outdated systems (e.g. Debian Wheezy). In general,
you’re better off getting you normal setup working.

Thanks very much. That's working for me and I'll return to my original problem in a new thread.

Just to report: I've checked and removing those auto{conf,make} from my PATH does allow 'make autotools' to succeed (even though it's now picking up system versions that are too old according to http://mxe.cc/#requirements (on a CentOS 6.6 box)). Anyway, I don't need to pursue auto tools/libtool/pkgconf.
