Bug#838208: libiodbc2 FTCBFS: uses build architecture pkg-config
Hi,

libiodbc2 fails to cross build from source, because it uses the build
architecture pkg-config. Thus it fails finding gtk and that results in
missing files. It seems that ./admin/gtk-2.0.m4 has its own code for
discovering which $PKG_CONFIG to use rather than using a standard
autoconf macro. Thus it does not default to use the triplet-prefixed
pkg-config and does not consider the PKG_CONFIG environment variable
either. The attached patch forces the right pkg-config via the
corresponding cache variable. Please consider applying the patch or
fixing the .m4 file to use standard (working) checks.
Do you have any plans to upload a new version of the package, and if so,
what do you think of this fix?
Are you OK with the fix and would it help if we offer to NMU, to move
this forward?
Cheers.
