Description

pkgconf is a program which helps to configure compiler and linker flags for development libraries. It is a superset of the functionality provided by pkg-config from freedesktop.org, but does not provide bug-compatibility with the original pkg-config. Unlike the original, pkgconf builds a flattened directed dependency graph, which gives more insight into how the libraries a project depends on fit together.

Features

  • pkgconf and a pkg-config command that behaves the same, so build systems that look for either name find it
  • bomtool and spdxtool generate a software bill of materials (SBOM) for a set of pkg-config modules, in the SPDX 2.0 and SPDX Lite 3.0.1 formats
  • pccritic checks pkg-config files for common mistakes
  • Released under the ISC license

Package Notes

  • The package installs the MSI built by the project for your processor: 64-bit, 32-bit or ARM64.
  • The installer adds its folder to the system PATH. Open a new terminal after installing so the commands are found.
  • The package installs only the command line tools. It does not install any .pc files; those come with the libraries you build against.

Please Note: This is an automatically updated package. If you find it is out of date by more than a day or two, please contact the maintainer(s) and let them know the package is no longer updating correctly.
