Thank you for the example, Juan.

I see some packages also use a pkgconfig/buildlink2.mk.

Since I am still learning about pkgconfig, I am still confused when it
should be used. For example, mozilla source includes *.pc.in files but
PKGCONFIG_OVERRIDE is not used and they aren't included with the mozilla
package.

I made the mozilla/Makefile.common now include:

PKGCONFIG_OVERRIDE+=    ${WRKSRC}/build/unix/mozilla-gtkmozembed.pc.in
PKGCONFIG_OVERRIDE+=    ${WRKSRC}/build/unix/mozilla-js.pc.in
PKGCONFIG_OVERRIDE+=    ${WRKSRC}/build/unix/mozilla-nspr.pc.in
PKGCONFIG_OVERRIDE+=    ${WRKSRC}/build/unix/mozilla-nss.pc.in
PKGCONFIG_OVERRIDE+=    ${WRKSRC}/build/unix/mozilla-plugin.pc.in
PKGCONFIG_OVERRIDE+=    ${WRKSRC}/build/unix/mozilla-xpcom.pc.in

I am doing this because epiphany needs mozilla-gtkmozembed.pc. (I am
currently building my mozilla-gtk2 package right now again.)

Can someone document the PKGCONFIG_OVERRIDE in the Packages.txt?

When should it be used?

And does PKGCONFIG_OVERRIDE have anything to do with
pkgconfig/buildlink2.mk?
