applications were not built, then using ``--enable-app`` may find
that cause, such as the missing dependency.
.. note::
In order to detect third party libraries, pkg-config is used
(however we don't use pkg-config for some libraries (e.g., libev)).
By default, pkg-config searches *.pc file in the standard locations
(e.g., /usr/lib/pkgconfig). If it is necessary to use *.pc file in
the custom location, specify paths to ``PKG_CONFIG_PATH``
environment variable, and pass it to configure script, like so:
.. code-block:: text
$ ./configure PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/pkgconfig
For pkg-config managed libraries, ``*_CFLAG`` and ``*_LIBS``
environment variables are defined (e.g., ``OPENSSL_CFLAGS``,
``OPENSSL_LIBS``). Specifying non-empty string to these variables
completely overrides pkg-config. In other words, if they are
specified, pkg-config is not used for detection, and user is
responsible to specify the correct values to these variables. For
complete list of these variables, run ``./configure -h``.
