My readline patch fixing the .pc file contents was merged upstream: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-readline/2018-05/msg00000.html And I've submitted another patch that does install the .pc file: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-readline/2018-05/msg00002.html Best regards, Thomas -- Thomas Petazzoni, CTO, Bootlin (formerly Free Electrons) Embedded Linux and Kernel engineering https://bootlin.com
