I'm not sure why everyone was only adding a lib/pkgconfig/ but share/pkgconfig/ is also to be added in any custom prefix in PKG_CONFIG_PATH! Why it worked inside /usr is because this is already in the defaults path of pkg-config for the /usr/ or /usr/local/ prefixes but you have to take care of it for any custom prefix. Also why can it be in share/ or in lib/? The logic is quite simple: if this is a library, the pc file goes in lib/pkgconfig/, if this is a data package, it goes in share/pkgconfig/. Have fun!
