/** @page pkgconfig @section pkgconfig_intro Introduction pkg-config (http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/wiki/) is a helper tool used when compiling applications and libraries. It helps you insert the correct compiler options on the command line based on installed software, instead of hard-coded values. @section pkgconfig_usage Usage Using pkg-config it is as simple as: @verbatim # compile: gcc -c -o main.o main.c `pkg-config --cflags PKGNAME` # link: gcc -o my_application main.o `pkg-config --libs PKGNAME` # compile + link in a single step: gcc -o my_application main.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs PKGNAME` @endverbatim Where @b PKGNAME is your module, such as eina, eet, evas, ecore, ecore-x, eio and so on. One can do some queries such as the module version, other variables: @verbatim pkg-config --modversion PKGNAME pkg-config --variable=prefix PKGNAME @endverbatim @section pkgconfig_troubleshooting Troubleshooting Make sure @c pkg-config command is in your @c $PATH, otherwise you'll end with: @verbatim pkg-config: command not found @endverbatim The @b PKGNAME it searched using pkg-config's build location, usually @c /usr/lib/pkgconfig. This can be overwritten with @c $PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR (usually for cross compile) or extended with @c $PKG_CONFIG_PATH. If you installed EFL to @c /opt/efl, then use: @verbatim export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/opt/efl/lib/pkgconfig" pkg-config --cflags --libs PKGNAME @endverbatim Otherwise you'll end with: @verbatim Package PKGNAME was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `PKGNAME.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'PKGNAME' found @endverbatim */
