A workaround woould be to copy the .pc-file that mentions foo to a private directory, edit it to point to your private foo, and then set PKG_CONFIG_PATH."PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/dir/with/foo.pc ./configure"Thanks, but this only works if the package installed privately installs foo.pc. Not every package does, since not every package supports pkg-config in its source distribution.Alas, I couldn't find any documentation of the *.pc files' format, so that I could edit the files.
It is in the man page for pkg-config.
pkg-config needs some kind of --use or --override switch so we could do this easier.Indeed. As things are now, it looks like the maintainers of pkg-config didn't _want_ you to have the freedom to point it to the non-default installation directories.
Its origin is form the Gnome project after all... Jan D.
