Description : a pkg-config replacement
pkgconf is a replacement for pkg-config, a system for managing library
compile and link flags that works with automake and autoconf.
.
As far as it's known to date, pkgconf is compatible with all known
variations of this macro. pkgconf detects at runtime whether or not it
was started as 'pkg-config', and if so, attempts to set program options
such that its behaviour is similar.
.
pkgconf builds an acyclic directed dependency graph. This allows for
the user to more conservatively link their binaries — which may be
helpful in some environments, such as when prelink(1) is being used. As
a result of building a directed dependency graph designed for the
specific problem domain provided by the user, more accurate
dependencies can be determined. pkg-config, on the other hand builds a
database of all known pkg-config files on the system before attempting
to resolve dependencies, which is a considerably slower and less
efficient design.
.
pkgconf does not bundle any third-party libraries or depend on any
third-party libraries.
