I have been building freerpd client for Eclipse in Ubuntu 14.04 but an error is popping up :

Could NOT find PkgConfig (missing: PKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE)

when I use CMake 2.8. How can I get rid of it?

I ran into this nuts problem while compiling opencv. The problem is that CMake is not finding the pkg-config executable.

Fix like this:

1)In ubuntu terminal,

which pkg-config

You will get "usr/bin/pkg-config" if it's installed

2) Add

set(PKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE "/usr/bin/pkg-config")

to your Cmake file, or in your build directory, run "cmake-gui" to add it using the GUI. Now, Cmake will find the pkg-config.

SOLUTION that worked for me:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall pkg-config cmake-data
