 Hello,

 I've successfully installed glib2 trough MacPorts but can't still compile
 my program.


 Installed, as seen:
 {{{
 sudo port install glib2
 --->  Computing dependencies for glib2
 --->  Cleaning glib2
 --->  Scanning binaries for linking errors: 100.0%
 --->  No broken files found.

 sudo port install pkgconfig
 --->  Cleaning pkgconfig
 --->  Scanning binaries for linking errors: 100.0%
 --->  No broken files found.
 }}}
 And compiling...

 eg:
 {{{
 gcc -o main main.c `pkg-config --libs --cflags glib-2.0`
 Package glib-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
 Perhaps you should add the directory containing `glib-2.0.pc'
 to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
 No package 'glib-2.0' found
 main.c:17:18: error: glib.h: No such file or directory
 }}}

 I tried, as the error says, to add the glib2 to PKG_CONFIG_PATH but wasn't
 able to find it in
 /opt/local/bin

 The only folders found:
 glib-compile-resources
 glib-compile-schemas
 glib-genmarshal
 glib-gettextize
 glib-mkenums

 Does anyone know what is not working or missing? ..A friend of mine was
 able to put it running doing the same things as I did.

 Thank you in advance.

Comment:

 Please remember to use WikiFormatting and preview your post when writing
 in Trac.

 What does `pkg-config --cflags --libs glib-2.0` print for you? It is
 different from `/opt/local/bin/pkg-config --cflags --libs glib-2.0`? If
 yes, what does `which pkg-config` print? Do you have `$PKG_CONFIG_PATH`
 set? Can you try setting it to `/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig` and re-trying?

 I don't think this is a bug in MacPorts or the glib port. If you need
 support you should have asked on the macports-users mailinglist.
