POLinux glib needs pkg-config and pkg-config needs glib?

Body
copied!<p>I try to install udev. And udev gives me an error during the <code>./configure</code></p> <pre><code>--exists: command not found configure: error: pkg-config and "glib-2.0 >= 2.16" not found, please set GLIB_CFLAGS and GLIB_LIBS to the correct values or pass --with-internal-glib to configure </code></pre> <p>Ok, pkg-config and glib-2.0 is missing.</p> <p>At first I tried to install pkg-config. I got this message:</p> <pre><code>checking whether to list both direct and indirect dependencies... no checking for Win32... no checking if internal glib should be used... no checking for pkg-config... no ./configure: line 13557: --exists: command not found configure: error: pkg-config and "glib-2.0 >= 2.16" not found, please set GLIB_CFLAGS and GLIB_LIBS to the correct values or pass --with-internal-glib to configure </code></pre> <p>Ok I interpret, that glib is missing. </p> <p>Next step installing Glib.</p> <p>And I got this message:</p> <pre><code>configure: error: in `/root/glib-2.33.3': configure: error: The pkg-config script could not be found or is too old. Make sure it is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full path to pkg-config. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBFFI_CFLAGS and LIBFFI_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. </code></pre> <p>But I'm puzzled now. Do they need each other? What is my mistake?</p>
