installation of Belgian card identity reader

for Linux I should follow ./configure then make followed by make install but as soon as first command is executed I have following info:

./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... mawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for pkg-config... yes
Package libpcsclite was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libpcsclite.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libpcsclite' found
configure: error: install pcsc-lite 1.2.0 or later
