# `pkg-config-unavailable-for-cross-compilation`

The specified pkg-config(1) file is installed to `/usr/lib/pkgconfig`. As the cross-compilation wrapper of pkg-config does not search this directory the file is unavailable under cross-compilation.

Please install the file to `/usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}/pkgconfig` instead.

For projects that use GNU Autotools, a simple method is moving to a debhelper compat level of 9 or higher. In the rare case that this file is architecture independent it can be installed to `/usr/share/pkgconfig` instead.

Severity: | `warning`
Experimental: | `false`
