Pass PKG_CONFIG_PATH for gir files (1.22 KB, patch)

Pass PKG_CONFIG_PATH for gir files

Specifying an explicit PKG_CONFIG_PATH either through the environment or using --with-pkg-config-path fails to build because the gir include search path does not respect PKG_CONFIG_PATH.

The attached patch fixes it for me.

Thanks for the patch. Should be fixed in master and 1.6 now and will be in the 1.6.1 release.

    app: pass PKG_CONFIG_PATH for gir files for libgstapp as well
    
    gir include search directories should respect PKG_CONFIG_PATH,
    just like we do everywhere else. Makes g-i pick up the right
    paths when using ./configure --with-pkg-config-path=
