Out of this four cases (there are probably more, one for every Linux distribution on this planet), tell me which is the most reasonable default?
the most reasonable default is simply to put vdr.pc in [$(DESTDIR)/]$(PREFIX)/lib/pkgconfig. for cases that this is not appropriate, there is $PKG_CONFIG_PATH.
i may add the reasoning: the only way i (as user) and up with software installed in /usr/local/ is by compiling it myself. if i do so, i am well aware of setting all relevant PATH variables as $PATH, $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, $PKG_CONFIG_PATH. most likly these are allready set for /usr/local in the systems default /etc/profile.
