# 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
