The pkg-config program is used to retrieve information about installed
|
|
libraries in the system. It is typically used to compile and link against one
|
|
or more libraries. It's more useful to the compilation process than to
|
|
the end-user.
|
|
|
|
pkg-config retrieves information about packages from special metadata files.
|
|
These files are named after the package, with the extension .pc. By default,
|
|
pkg-config looks for these files in the following directories:
|
|
${PREFIX}/libdata/pkgconfig, ${PREFIX}/lib/pkgconfig,
|
|
${LOCALBASE}/libdata/pkgconfig, and ${LOCALBASE}/lib/pkgconfig; it will also
|
|
look in the list of directories specified by the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment
|
|
variable.
