Library Installation

Troubleshooting

pkg-config can't find wtengine

Make sure the install location used for pkg-config is in PKG_CONFIG_PATH, example:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/share/pkgconfig

Check install_manifest.txt to see where wtengine.pc was placed.

You can verify pkg-config can locate the engine by:

pkg-config --libs --exists wtengine
