Sorry that I missed that.

No it turned  out that there was no configure switch to use. After a lot of investigating it turned out that in version 4.4.37 they made it a requirement that pkg-config was installed as a dependency.

That caused some users a problem when installing libxcrypt early in a distribution before pkg-config was available and then the libxcrypt build would fail.

So in version 4.4.38 it was changed so that if pkg-config was not found the build continued but then of course the pkg-config  files are not installed.

In version 4.4.36 the .pc files were installed whether pkg-config was available already or not. The pkgconfig directory was even created if it was not already present.

The fix was to move pkg-config to before libxcrypt and the files were available again.

The only alternative would have been to patch the Makefile.in to allow the install of the .pc files whether pkg-config was already installed or not but that would have been too complex for me and moving pkg-config to before libxcrypt seems to have worked without any issues.

V2 patch submission will be submitted shortly.

Regards,

Adolf.
