 Can you point to a documentation of how that really works in autoconf, i.e. if one should pass also command line arguments in there and stuff like that?

 Sorry, I am not that familiar with autotools. Currently, the only way I know to pass PKG_CONFIG to autools is environment variable. Just like configure output below

./configure --help

...

Some influential environment variables:
  CC C compiler command
  CFLAGS C compiler flags
  LDFLAGS linker flags, e.g. -L<lib dir> if you have libraries in a
              nonstandard directory <lib dir>
  LIBS libraries to pass to the linker, e.g. -l<library>
  CPPFLAGS (Objective) C/C++ preprocessor flags, e.g. -I<include dir> if
              you have headers in a nonstandard directory <include dir>
  CXX C++ compiler command
  CXXFLAGS C++ compiler flags
  CPP C preprocessor
  CXXCPP C++ preprocessor
  CCAS assembler compiler command (defaults to CC)
  CCASFLAGS assembler compiler flags (defaults to CFLAGS)
  PKG_CONFIG path to pkg-config utility
  PKG_CONFIG_PATH
              directories to add to pkg-config's search path
  PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR
              path overriding pkg-config's built-in search path
  BASE_DEPENDENCIES_CFLAGS
              C compiler flags for BASE_DEPENDENCIES, overriding pkg-config
  BASE_DEPENDENCIES_LIBS
              linker flags for BASE_DEPENDENCIES, overriding pkg-config
  CAIRO_BACKEND_CFLAGS
              C compiler flags for CAIRO_BACKEND, overriding pkg-config
  CAIRO_BACKEND_LIBS
              linker flags for CAIRO_BACKEND, overriding pkg-config
  GMODULE_CFLAGS
              C compiler flags for GMODULE, overriding pkg-config
  GMODULE_LIBS
              linker flags for GMODULE, overriding pkg-config
  XMKMF Path to xmkmf, Makefile generator for X Window System
  COLORD_CFLAGS
              C compiler flags for COLORD, overriding pkg-config
  COLORD_LIBS linker flags for COLORD, overriding pkg-config
  GTKDOC_DEPS_CFLAGS
              C compiler flags for GTKDOC_DEPS, overriding pkg-config
  GTKDOC_DEPS_LIBS
              linker flags for GTKDOC_DEPS, overriding pkg-config

 Sending old, never assigned issues to the backlog.

(The age of the bug, plus the fact that it's never been assigned to anyone means that nobody is actively working on it...)

If an issue you care about is sent to the backlog when you feel it should have been addressed in a different manner, please bring it up on the CMake mailing list for discussion. Sign up for the mailing list here, if you're not already on it: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake [^]

It's easy to re-activate a bug here if you can find a CMake developer who has the bandwidth to take it on, and ferry a fix through to our 'next' branch for dashboard testing.

 A patch to fix this has been contributed:

 FindPkgConfig: Prefer PKG_CONFIG to find pkg-config
