GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 304124
gst-plugins should include uninstalled.pc file
Last modified: 2005-08-29 15:42:59 UTC
gst-plugins should ship with uninstalled pc files to support building even if it isn't installed. Attaching patch that adds these needed files. I didn't add these files to EXTRA_DIST in the Makefile.am so they get distributed, but whoever commits this patch can add this, I think.

I'm pretty sure our setup here is already correct. You don't explain your changes. Could you please do that?
Many modules (such as glib, gtk+, etc.) assume that the PKG_CONFIG_PATH will be relative. My patch makes it work for relative paths. However, it seems that some modules such as GStreamer want PKG_CONFIG_PATH to contain the full path to the GStreamer uninstalled-pc file. Perhaps for consistancy it would be good to do things the way the more stable GNOME modules work. However, if your build process works the other way, that might be okay too.
Closing as INVALID.
