# Pkgconfig module
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This module is a simple generator for
|
|
|
|
|
[pkg-config](https://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/) files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To use this module, just do: **`pkg = import('pkgconfig')`**. The
|
|
|
|
|
following function will then be available as `pkg.generate()`. You
|
|
|
|
|
can, of course, replace the name `pkg` with anything else.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### pkg.generate()
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The generated file's properties are specified with the following
|
|
|
|
|
keyword arguments.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `description` a string describing the library
|
|
|
|
|
- `extra_cflags` a list of extra compiler flags to be added to the
|
|
|
|
|
`Cflags` field after the header search path
|
|
|
|
|
- `filebase`, the base name to use for the pkg-config file, as an
|
|
|
|
|
example the value of `libfoo` would produce a pkg-config file called
|
|
|
|
|
`libfoo.pc`
|
|
|
|
|
- `install_dir` the directory to install to, defaults to the value of
|
|
|
|
|
option `libdir` followed by `/pkgconfig`
|
|
|
|
|
- `libraries` a list of built libraries (usually results of
|
|
|
|
|
shared_library) that the user needs to link against. Arbitraty strings can
|
|
|
|
|
also be provided and they will be added into the `Libs` field. Since 0.45.0
|
|
|
|
|
dependencies of built libraries will be automatically added to `Libs.private`
|
|
|
|
|
field. If a dependency is provided by pkg-config then it will be added in
|
|
|
|
|
`Requires.private` instead. Other type of dependency objects can also be passed
|
|
|
|
|
and will result in their `link_args` and `compile_args` to be added to `Libs`
|
|
|
|
|
and `Cflags` fields.
|
|
|
|
|
- `libraries_private` list of built libraries or strings to put in the
|
|
|
|
|
`Libs.private` field. Since 0.45.0 it can also contain dependency objects,
|
|
|
|
|
their `link_args` will be added to `Libs.private`.
|
|
|
|
|
- `name` the name of this library
|
|
|
|
|
- `subdirs` which subdirs of `include` should be added to the header
|
|
|
|
|
search path, for example if you install headers into
|
|
|
|
|
`${PREFIX}/include/foobar-1`, the correct value for this argument
|
|
|
|
|
would be `foobar-1`
|
|
|
|
|
- `requires` list of strings to put in the `Requires` field
|
|
|
|
|
- `requires_private` list of strings to put in the `Requires.private`
|
|
|
|
|
field
|
|
|
|
|
- `url` a string with a url for the library
|
|
|
|
|
- `variables` a list of strings with custom variables to add to the
|
|
|
|
|
generated file. The strings must be in the form `name=value` and may
|
|
|
|
|
reference other pkgconfig variables,
|
|
|
|
|
e.g. `datadir=${prefix}/share`. The names `prefix`, `libdir` and
|
|
|
|
|
`installdir` are reserved and may not be used.
|
|
|
|
|
- `version` a string describing the version of this library
|
|
|
|
|
- `d_module_versions` a list of module version flags used when compiling
|
|
|
|
|
