I wouldn't know. I just type a pkg-config command line into
a search engine, and it turned up "Guide to pkg-config -
FreeDesktop.Org" which points to:
https://people.freedesktop.org/~dbn/pkg-config-guide.html
That page says that each library comes with a <name>.pc file,
so I looked at the Debian packages page for unixodbc-dev
and saw that there were three .pc files. Perhaps these are
the names of the libraries that are being configured (or
is it 'quizzed about their configuration').
Cheers,
David.
