Unable to make pkg-config
macos
Solution
I guess you’re trying to build pkg-config with option `--with-internal-glib` enabled. If so, then you’ll have to add the following linker (in LDFLAGS) options to the configure script `-framework CoreFoundation` and `-framework Carbon`, so you will build glib static and then pgk-config can make use of it.
In resume: `env LDFLAGS="-framework CoreFoundation -framework Carbon" ./configure --with-internal-glib`.
PS: Considere to edit your problem description and insert more context to your problem.
PPS: Pkg-Config version 0.29.1 has fixed this problem.
Problem
When I try to make pkg-config, I get an error. I want to install a bioinformatic tool on my mac. I am fairly new to this so I might be making a fatal mistake. Would appreciate any help! thanks! make logs ``` /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/make all-recursive Making all in glib /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/make all-recursive Making all in .
