If I previously did
GUILE_CONFIG=/usr/local/tmp/guile-1.8/bin/guile-config ./configure
./config.status --recheck
then the Guile configuration was reused. If I now do
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/tmp/guile-1.8/lib/pkgconfig ./configure
./config.status --recheck
the configuration information is lost and configure reverts to the
system configuration.
In addition, PKG_CONFIG_PATH is not documented in our configuration or
with ./configure --help.
How to fix?
A documented option --with-guile-prefix or --with-libguile-prefix that
puts up a working configuration might be a reasonably transparent and
future-safe option.
Also now I don't think it made sense to _remove_ the GUILE_CONFIG
variable: if it's set, it seems worth heeding. If it's unset, going via
pkgconfig may be the right way. --with-libguile-prefix could pick the
right option underneath, checking that it is viable, and prefer using
PKG_CONFIG_PATH .
