As a packager you should move it to /usr/lib/pkgconfig. That's where all the pkcconfig files should be anyway.
Are you saying that when I create Trinity packages to install to /opt/trinity, I should still install pkgconfig files to /usr/lib/pkgconfig?
Yes that is correct. pkg-config looks there by default as that is how the default configuruation is. I ove all of the ones that are not installed there. Less toruble that way.
It is the reason I choose to build trinity to belong in /usr as I don't have to move many files to their proper places.
I can do that for myself, but not when I am packaging for other people who are using the same stock distro, which expects KDE4 to be installed in /usr. :(
I have not looked at that as I don't do KDE4. I will look at that in the future after I get my LFS build completed. I am moving from Arch Linux to LFS. Arch linux just isn't for me anymore, I don't like the direction they are going.
