But I don't think that's got anything to do with why your package is failing. Is there a BuildRequires: pkgconfig in your spec file? If not, then pkgconfig won't end up in the mock chroot and your configure will fail. You can look at the mock logs to see what was installed in the chroot (root.log). Then carefully check the build.log to see what all it complains about and add the packages providing those things via BuildRequires (or disable them via configure options if you don't want them in your package). This often happens when people get used to building packages on their fully installed systems. You end up not noticing that something may be needed as a BuildRequires because you've already got it installed. Mock is actually helpful in this regard because it pulls in a very small set of packages by default and requires your spec file to specify what is needed above and beyond that to build properly. The Fedora Packaging Guidelines will tell you what the exceptions are to BuildRequires[1]. Anything not in the exception list should be added as a BR. More generally, there is a lot of good stuff in on the wiki for package maintainers[2] -- some specific to Fedora, but much of it applies to anyone looking to build clean packages.
