Homebrew packages in PKG_CONFIG_PATH
I have a bunch of libraries installed with homebrew but I don't know what the right way to get them in pkg-config's search path. Right now I have
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$(find /usr/local/Cellar -name 'pkgconfig' -type d | grep lib/pkgconfig | tr 'n' ':' | sed s/.$//)
This works fine, but it does slow down my shell startup time, which now takes about 2 seconds. I'm sure that there's a better way built into homebrew, but I can't find it in the docs.

Convert the find to a static list colon : separated PKG_CONFIG_PATH list to reduce launch time.
Step 1. Run pkg-config --list-all to determine what packages are already know by
pkg-config --list-all
# tidy tidy - tidy - HTML syntax checker
# tesseract tesseract - An OCR Engine
# …
Step 2. Run find to determine the pkgconfig directories that contain *.pc files.
# long form `find`
find /usr/local/Cellar -name 'pkgconfig' -type d | grep lib/pkgconfig | tr 'n' ':' | sed s/.$//)
# short form `find`
find / -name "pkgconfig" -print
# /usr/local/Cellar/abc/0.1.5/lib/pkgconfig:…/usr/local/Cellar/xyz/2.6/lib/pkgconfig
Step 3. Add the paths libraries of interest, that are not already discoverable by pkg-config, to PKG_CONFIG_PATH.
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/abc/0.1.5/lib/pkgconfig
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/local/Cellar/abc/0.1.5/lib/pkgconfig
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/my/build/from/source/mmmm/0.1.5/lib/pkgconfig

I had a similar issue in Mac Mojave as /usr/include is gone under Xcode 10, and you have to install a separate package to get it back.
