--variable=prefix returns nothing

[Vincent Torri]

hey,

we have a perfectly valid .pc file of a library, which works well on linux
and Windows. We use "pkg-config --variable=prefix mylib" to get the prefix.
On linux and windows, no problem. One of our user tried on mac os x, and the
command returns nothing. He compiled himself pkg-config.

What is strange is that it occurs only for that precise .pc file. Other .pc
files have no problem at all. We are completely lost.

does someone have an idea about the problem ?

thank you

Vincent
