Re: [LINUX5250] Re: x5250 build problems :(

You need to build a recent version of TN5250 from CVS.  Support for
pkgconfig was added after the most recent release.


Also, if your copy of tn5250.pc was installed in a different directory,
you may have to add that directory to the list of those searched by adding
it to your PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable.

For example, on my system, most of of the PC scripts are in
/usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig, but TN5250 puts it's script into
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig, so I need to do:

(bash)
   PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

(tcsh)
   setenv PKG_CONFIG_PATH /usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

prior to running ./configure, and then it works...
