Hey,
I have an issue. Trying to build a package in mock, package B. Package B requires a installed package, package A. Package A installs on a custom PATH and requires the PATH to be set in order for package B to compile.
1) Change A to install a pkg-config file (.pc) which contains the variable that should be added to the PATH. B can then extract it in its build scripts with "pkg-config --variable binpath A.pc" 2) Change A to install an executable shell script which, when run, outputs the path element. Relevant art: ls /usr/bin/*config on a recent Fedora install with a wide selection of -devel packages. 3) Hardcode the path in B
Don't try to fix at the meta-build (mock) level problems which are perfectly solvable at the component (package) level.
