Now it is time to install a new thing. We are going to install pkg-config. What is pkg-config well let’s take a look.
What is pkg-config?
pkg-config is a compiler. Damn that was anticlimactic. I have not a understanding in the world why Ubertooth would want such a thing. We installed CMake already. I can only assume there are libraries that cannot be compiled by CMake. It is a cross platform compiler so that is my best guess.
Install pkg-config
Like all these libraries, we need to open the terminal from the Kali desktop.
Once you are in the terminal window, type apt-get install pkg-config and press the enter key. Like with several of these libraries, they may exist on the platform already. If they do then be happy that you have the knowledge that Ubertooth will be less likely to screw with you.
You will enjoy the joys of techno-babble as it scrolls and you shall have pkg-config installed on your virtual machine.
In my case, it was already installed. That wraps up this particular prerequisite line item. I know these post are not exactly fun but at least they are conveniently searchable. So bookmark it for future reference.
On the other hand, you get asked a question about using hard drive space like the one below then press Y and it should complete.
As always drop your comments below and tomorrow we will get to enjoy another library install.
