https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/4430 From 08d26a80859023963bc2ffb41a0b6aed942685a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Frysinger Date: Fri, 15 May 2015 03:36:45 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] setupext: respect $PKG_CONFIG When cross-compiling, it is common to set the PKG_CONFIG env var to a custom pkg-config that knows about the target. Make sure we respect that just like the standard pkg-config tools suggest (pkg.m4). If it isn't set, we use the same default as today -- "pkg-config". --- setupext.py | 7 ++++--- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/setupext.py b/setupext.py index 80b2a6c..29cddf9 100755 --- a/setupext.py +++ b/setupext.py @@ -253,7 +253,8 @@ class PkgConfig(object): self.has_pkgconfig = False else: self.set_pkgconfig_path() - status, output = getstatusoutput("pkg-config --help") + self.pkgconfig = os.environ.get('PKG_CONFIG', 'pkg-config') + status, output = getstatusoutput("%s --help" % self.pkgconfig) self.has_pkgconfig = (status == 0) if not self.has_pkgconfig: print("IMPORTANT WARNING:") @@ -286,7 +287,7 @@ class PkgConfig(object): executable = alt_exec if self.has_pkgconfig: - executable = 'pkg-config {0}'.format(package) + executable = '%s %s' % (self.pkgconfig, package) use_defaults = True @@ -330,7 +331,7 @@ class PkgConfig(object): return None status, output = getstatusoutput( - "pkg-config %s --modversion" % (package)) + '%s %s --modversion' % (self.pkgconfig, package)) if status == 0: return output return None -- 2.4.0
