I have installed pkg-config and libusb through brew
Now if I do
pkg-config --cflags --libs libusb
I get below message
Package libusb was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps
you should add the directory containing `libusb.pc' to the
PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'libusb' found
So I followed this post and did
export
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/local/Cellar/libusb/1.0.20/lib/pkgconfig"
But I still have the problem. What am I missing?
I am using MAC OSX El Capitan
Just run:
pkg-config --cflags --libs /usr/local/Cellar/libusb/1.0.20/lib/pkgconfig/libusb-1.0.pc
I have the the same problem. This work for me (Ubuntu):
sudo apt-get install libmagickwand-dev
The problem appears to be that homebrew installs libusb with the -1.0 appended to the package and file names. So:
pkg-config --cflags --libs libusb-1.0
will find it, while:
pkg-config --cflags --libs libusb
won't. Since many ./configure and other scripts are looking for it without the -1.0 appended, they fail. To me, this looks like a bug in the homebrew package. Manually creating a non-1.0 named version worked for me, but it's not a very elegant solution.

I've written a small library and I'm trying to set it up to be usable with pkg-config, for those in my organization who might need to make use of it later. So my installer places a .pc file in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig, and I've recently discovered that for some reason this isn't in the default list of directories that pkg-config scans for its pc files, despite /usr/local being the canonical prefix for locally-compiled software. So, I need to add /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig to PKG_CONFIG_PATH.
However, I'm finding that despite claims in the man page, pkg-config's own error message and everywhere online, pkg-config doesn't actually look at PKG_CONFIG_PATH. The error message tells me to add /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig (which contains the .pc file I'm looking for) to PKG_CONFIG_PATH, when I've clearly already done that.
[chris#delphinus-a pkgconfig]$ pwd
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
[chris#delphinus-a pkgconfig]$ ls
libexample.pc
[chris#delphinus-a pkgconfig]$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
[chris#delphinus-a pkgconfig]$ echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
[chris#delphinus-a pkgconfig]$ pkg-config --cflags libexample
Package libexample was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libexample.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'libexample', required by 'virtual:world', not found
[chris#delphinus-a pkgconfig]$ echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
[chris#delphinus-a pkgconfig]$ pkg-config --variable pc_path pkg-config
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig
[chris#delphinus-a pkgconfig]$ pkg-config --version
1.6.3
The contents of libexample.pc:
prefix=/usr/local
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include
Name: libexample
Description: example library.
Libs: -L${libdir} -lpthread -ltimeutil -lczmq -lzmq
Cflags: -I${includedir}
So, if PKG_CONFIG_PATH is indeed the environment variable I need to set, how to I get pkg-config to actually use it? Or what else am I missing here? This is in Fedora 31, FWIW.
Apparently (judging by the very large version number), you're using some other implementation of pkg-config: namely, from this page I gather that it's something called pkgconf and is intended to somehow replace the FDO pkg-config program.
To succeed with PKG_CONFIG_PATH, I suppose, you should install a real pkg-config from FDO, whose version should be in the range of 0.29.x.
I've been trying to compile the FileZilla versions 3.11 and 3.24 on Mac for a research project but when I run ../configure I get the following error:
configure: error: libgnutls 3.1.12 greater was not found. You can get it from http://gnutls.org/
However, I've installed gnutls using homebrew; when I run
brew list gnutls
I can see the library installed at /usr/local/Cellar/gnutls/3.5.8/
Any ideas to resolve the problem are appreciated. Thanks

It seems that GNUtls, as installed by homebrew ships with a pkgconfig file. So, you need to install pkgconfig if you don't have it already using:
brew install pkgconfig
Then, once you have that, you can find the compiler include file settings with:
pkg-config --cflags gnutls
Sample Output
-I/usr/local/Cellar/gnutls/3.5.8/include -I/usr/local/Cellar/nettle/3.3/include -I/usr/local/Cellar/libtasn1/4.10/include -I/usr/local/Cellar/p11-kit/0.23.3/include/p11-kit-1
And the linker library settings with:
pkg-config --libs gnutls
Sample Output
-L/usr/local/Cellar/gnutls/3.5.8/lib -lgnutls
So, we (just) need to convey that information to FileZilla. So, first we run:
./configure --help | grep -i utls
Sample Output
--enable-gnutlssystemciphers
Enables the use of gnutls system ciphers.
LIBGNUTLS_CFLAGS
C compiler flags for LIBGNUTLS, overriding pkg-config
LIBGNUTLS_LIBS
linker flags for LIBGNUTLS, overriding pkg-config
So it looks like we need to do something like:
export LIBGNUTLS_CFLAGS=$(pkg-config --cflags gnutls)
export LIBGNUTLS_LIBS=$(pkg-config --libs gnutls)
./configure

I haven't tried this with FileZilla, but I use it with other packages, and there is nothing to lose...
If homebrew has installed your GNUtls in /usr/local/Cellar/gnutls/3.5.8/, you could try telling FileZilla that location in your configure like this:
./configure CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/Cellar/gnutls/3.5.8/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/Cellar/gnutls/3.5.8/lib" ... other flags
I have a glib-2.0 2.36.0 package, installed from ubuntu repo. So now
pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0
Prints 2.36.0 Recently, I downloaded and built a fresh new version 2.40.0. I need it to build a Clutter, also downloaded manually. It requires glib version 2.37.3 at least.
How can I point out a custom pkgconfig directory, that is located in the glib binaries such, that --modversion will return 2.40.0?
The solution is PKG_CONFIG_PATH :
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$PKG_CONFIG_PATH $HOME/frameworks/glib/lib/pkgconfig/" pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0
Gives the right result.
I'm running gentoo linux, and I'm trying to get pkg-config to find ntk.pc (ntk being the library I'm trying to link to). Here are the premises:
Output of echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH:
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig
Output of locate ntk.pc:
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/ntk.pc
Output of pkg-config --modversion ntk:
Package ntk was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `ntk.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'ntk' found
Output of cat /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/ntk.pc:
prefix=/usr/local
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include
Name: ntk
Description: Non ToolKit
Version: 1.3.0
Requires: cairo >= 1.9.0
Requires.private: x11 xft
Libs: -L${libdir} -lntk
Cflags: -I${includedir}/ntk -pthread -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_GNU_SOURCE
Any help would be awesome. If you need any more information, please leave a comment and I'll get it to you. Thank you in advance!!
So I fixed it. It turns out that pkg-config didn't understand colon-delimiting like normal bash paths (/usr:/bin...etc), or my comp just needed a restart. Either way assigning $PKG_CONFIG_PATH to /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig works!
I installed pkg-config with homebrew in OSX. I'm not sure what I should set my PKG_CONFIG_PATH to? Should it be a combination of /usr/include and /usr/local/include? Even if I use one or the other, I get an error about there not being any .pc files, which I take it would contain info used by pkg-config? Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Help appreciated.
$ pkg-config --libs libxml2
Package libxml2 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libxml2.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libxml2' found
Update:
So maybe I'm asking two different questions. I just curled gsl and ran through the ./configure && make && sudo make install. And with an empty $PKG_CONFIG_PATH I actually got a hit with:
pkg-config --libs gsl
-L/usr/local/lib -lgsl -lgslcblas -lm
But listing /usr/local/lib shows the gsl libs but no .pc files. How come pkg-config works for custom installed packages in OSX but not default installed ones???
echo "export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib" >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc
to test with say glib:
brew install glib && pkg-config --libs --cflags glib-2.0
should get you the goods:
-I/usr/local/Cellar/glib/2.34.3/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/Cellar/glib/2.34.3/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/local/Cellar/gettext/0.18.2/include -L/usr/local/Cellar/glib/2.34.3/lib -L/usr/local/Cellar/gettext/0.18.2/lib -lglib-2.0 -lintl
I can't add a clarification comment to Nick's answer above, but that is the correct set of paths you need, I have tried with success using homebrew on osx 10.9.1.
If you want this to work with a GUI application such as an IDE, you need to add that path to /etc/launchd.conf.
