pkg-config is broken

[pawlowskialex]

What happened?

pkg-config installed through devbox doesn't find any packages.

Steps to reproduce

1. Run pkg-config --libs --cflags-only-I opus

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `opus.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'opus' found

Same shell built with nix-shell works:

> nix-shell -p libopus pkg-config
> pkg-config --libs --cflags-only-I opus
-I/nix/store/6fq8qm00dfs85b94hf6ynvwcfijlqd3b-libopus-1.5.2-dev/include/opus -L/nix/store/s528j3f1c3x7hw3j0w43zm1wxi23c4qw-libopus-1.5.2/lib -lopus

Command

shell

devbox.json

{
  ...
  "packages": [
    "pkg-config@latest",
    "libopus@latest",
  ],
  ...
}

Devbox version

0.10.6

Nix version

nix (Nix) 2.18.2

What system does this bug occur on?

macOS (Apple Silicon)

Hi @pawlowskialex, could you try adding libopus with devbox add libopus -o out,dev? I think this might be because nix-shell is automatically adding the dev output to the environment.
