Description

In wscript, set PKG_CONFIG_PATH to include:

  • /opt/local/lib/pkgconfig
  • /usr/lib64/pkgconfig

so that export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=... command is not needed during ./waf configure on OSX and Fedora.

This Task includes deleting the relevant steps from INSTALL documentation.

20141128 conference call decides:

  • "waf-tool for ndn-cxx detection" shouldn't be created, because pkg-config is supposed to be the universal method for package detection
  • pkg-config considers PKG_CONFIG_PATH first, then default paths; thus, only custom paths need to be injected to the environment
  • the environment shouldn't be restored after detecting ndn-cxx, because other pkg-config command may also need them
