When I build tqt3 from GIT, the pkgconfig file gets built and installed to:
/opt/trinity/lib/tqt3-R14.0.0/lib/pkgconfig/tqt-mt.pc
rather than
/opt/trinity/lib/pkgconfig/tqt-mt.pc
Bug?

Most probably. That path looks nasty.

Fixable from here or do we need a bug report?
Bug report is a good idea. I'm going to be swamped at
my day job real
quick, so it may have to wait until someone else patches
it.
Can you provide me soe clues? I don't mind taking a wack.

As a packager you should move it to /usr/lib/pkgconfig. That's where all the
pkcconfig files should be anyway.
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.

Are you saying that when I create Trinity packages to install to /opt/trinity, I should
still install pkgconfig files to /usr/lib/pkgconfig?

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.

There is nothing wrong with putting a group of .pc files in another
location, say, /opt/trinity/lib/pkgconfig. You only have to set one
environment variable:
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/trinity/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/xorg/lib/pkgconfig
To me, just setting a variable once is far less trouble than moving
files for every package. It also supports the situation where you may
want to have trinity-3.5.13 and trinity-devel on the same system.
Users who don't build from source don't have to worry about it at all.

If one either moves the .pc file to /usr/lib/pkgconfig or symlinks in tha
package then I don't have to mess around define vars. or things of the
nature. "It just works"
