The pkg-config program is used to retrieve information about
installed
libraries in the system, including the CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, and
other
information necessary to compile and link against one or
more libraries.
CHANGES since 0.21-1
====================
* update to latest bzr development version (2008-04-19)
* Still using --enable-indirect-deps
* rework cygport packaging, to adapt to bzr cygclass.
post 0.23 release:
===
- Incorporate fixes for most of the earlier cygwin
patches
- logging support
- 'conflicts' actually works, now
pkg-config 0.23
===
- Add support for setting sysroot through
PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR in
the environment.
- Update included glib to 1.2.10.
- Other minor fixes, including a segfault.
pkg-config 0.22
===
- Make Requires.private a whole lot more useful by
traversing the
whole tree, not just the top-level, for Cflags.
- Add support for using the system glib.
- Update URL to pkg-config website
- Fix some win32 problems.
- Other minor fixes.
Note that the new "private libs" and "private
requires" features do not
work as they would on *nix systems in this release, because
this
pkg-config was compiled with the --enable-indirect-deps
option. This
option is necessary to properly link dependent DLLs on
MSWin/cygwin, but
means that no library dependency is truly private. However,
.pc files
that use the .private options will work properly -- as
defined on the
MSWin/cygwin platform: private libs will be folded into the
public libs
list, and private requires will likewise be folded into the
public
requires list.
