[glfw3/glew] Incorrect pkgconfig

[danielwolbach]

I installed Vcpkg in my home directory and installed a bunch of libraries. Everything went well. But then I decided to move Vcpkg to C:\Dev\vcpkg. I did vcpkg integrate remove and deleted the vcpkg directory in my home directory. I cloned the Vcpkg repo to the new location and installed it there. I installed the same libraries again, but then I had a problem: The generated *.pc fiels for pkg-config were using the old directories for the prefixes. Vcpkg must have stored these directory prefixes somewhere but I wasn't able to find out where. I checked all environment variables. How can I completely reset Vcpkg or change these directory prefixes (without having to do it manually everywhere)?

Relative paths rather than absolute paths should be used in the pkgconfig file. Such as zlib.pc:

prefix=${pcfiledir}/../..

exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${prefix}/lib
sharedlibdir=${prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include

Name: zlib
Description: zlib compression library
Version: 1.2.11

Requires:
Libs: -L${libdir} -L${sharedlibdir} -lzlib
Cflags: -I${includedir}

Can you provide the wrong port name?

[danielwolbach]

Sorry, I don't know what you mean with "port name". Can you please explain? (I don't really have any in-depth knowledge about Vcpkg)

In the below example, the names on the outside of the brackets are ports, those inside the brackets are features. Features can be ports, as curl is a port with features brotli, c-ares, http2, idn2, etc, but curl is also a feature of port azure-core-cpp, cfitsio, curlpp, czmq, fmi4cpp, etc.

@octowaddle Can you provide me the broken pkgconfig file name?

[danielwolbach]

The ports are glfw3 and glew with the pkgconfig files glfw3.pc and glew.pc.
