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.
|
|
|
|
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 in the following directories: ${PREFIX}/libdata/pkgconfig,
|
|
${LOCALBASE}/libdata/pkgconfig and ${X11BASE}/libdata/pkgconfig for these
|
|
files; it will also look in the list of directories specified by the
|
|
PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable.
|
|
|
|
The package name specified on the pkg-config command line is defined to be the
|
|
name of the metadata file, minus the .pc extension. If a library can install
|
|
multiple versions simultaneously, it must give each version its own name (for
|
|
example, GTK 1.2 might have the package name "gtk+" while GTK 2.0 has
|
|
"gtk+-2.0").
