Sergei, I'm sorry Sergei I read your txt file and looked at bash tutorials and tried different things like bypassing pkg-config. I just don't know how to use these variables with configure. Everything I do doesn't work out. I know how to use them with make for example. make CFLAGS='-g -O2' that has worked for me with packages before but not with configure. Also I don't parallel build in a build directory. I just run the compiler and assembler linker and all in the source directory. I've never seen a reason to use a separate build directory except with newer versions of glibc when it's necessary.
