Unable to make pkg-config

When I try to make pkg-config, I get an error. I want to install a bioinformatic tool on my mac. I am fairly new to this so I might be making a fatal mistake. Would appreciate any help! thanks!

I guess you’re trying to build pkg-config with option --with-internal-glib enabled. If so, then you’ll have to add the following linker (in LDFLAGS) options to the configure script -framework CoreFoundation and -framework Carbon, so you will build glib static and then pgk-config can make use of it.

In resume: env LDFLAGS="-framework CoreFoundation -framework Carbon" ./configure --with-internal-glib.

PS: Considere to edit your problem description and insert more context to your problem.

PPS: Pkg-Config version 0.29.1 has fixed this problem.
