There is only one set of source code for all platforms/cpu architecture. I am no expert, but this is the way I use to remember this rather unusual setup. If you don't add /share in the path you will most likely be missing some packages such as util-macros which is needed to configure the packages. We need to comply with the FHS standard. If we don't, other installations will break as they use a /usr/share as a common filesystem for architecture independent data. The location is not really a project preference but a standard that OS are expecting we follow. <A HREF="http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#USRSHAREARCHITECTUREINDEPENDENTDATA">http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#USRSHAREARCHITECTUREINDEPENDENTDATA</A> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <PRE> is fine in all cases except this one. Te disto consists of more than 100 packages, many of which use pkg-config. Specifically, libX11 configure fails without moving xtrans.pc to $(prefix)/lib/pkgconfig Regards, Dmitry On Thu, Nov 17, 2011 at 3:28 PM, Daniel Stone <<A HREF="mailto:daniel@fooishbar.org">daniel@fooishbar.org</A>> wrote: > Hi, > > On 17 November 2011 11:10, Dmitry Shatrov <<A HREF="mailto:shatrov@gmail.com">shatrov@gmail.com</A>> wrote: >> --- a/Makefile.am >> +++ b/Makefile.am >> @@ -14,7 +14,7 @@ Xtransinclude_HEADERS = \ >>  aclocaldir = $(datadir)/aclocal >>  aclocal_DATA = xtrans.m4 >> >> -pkgconfigdir = $(datadir)/pkgconfig >> +pkgconfigdir = $(libdir)/pkgconfig >>  pkgconfig_DATA = xtrans.pc >> >>  MAINTAINERCLEANFILES = ChangeLog INSTALL > > Actually, no.  xtrans (despite the name) isn't actually > architecture-dependent in any way: it just installs a bunch of source > files to /usr/include.  So, like the protocol modules, its pkg-config > can go in $(datadir). > > Cheers, > Daniel > _______________________________________________ <A HREF="mailto:xorg-devel@lists.x.org">xorg-devel@lists.x.org</A>: X.Org development Archives: <A HREF="http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel">http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel</A> Info: <A HREF="http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel">http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel</A> </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> </BODY> </HTML>
