I'm trying to use cygwin as a build environment under Windows. I have some dependencies on 3rd party packages, for example, GTK+. Normally when I build under Linux, in my Makefile I can add a call to pkg-config as an argument to gcc, so it comes out like so: gcc example.c `pkg-config --libs --cflags gtk+-2.0` This works fine under...
I've tried cpan and cpanp shell and I keep getting: ExtUtils::PkgConfig requires the pkg-config utility, but it doesn't seem to be in your PATH. Is it correctly installed? What is the pkg-config utility and how do I install it? Updates: OS: Windows This module is a prerequisite for the File::Extractor module ...
I need to include the GLib headers for a project that is built with an autoconf-based system for portability. How can I safely import the GLib headers in a portable manner? I know about pkg-config, but that is not entirely portable (since some systems don't have it and I would prefer to only rely on autoconf for configuration). ...
So I'm having trouble compiling my application which is using yaml-cpp I'm including "yaml.h" in my source files (just like the examples in the yaml-cpp wiki) but when I try compiling the application I get the following error: g++ -c -o entityresourcemanager.o entityresourcemanager.cpp entityresourcemanager.cpp:2:18: error: yaml.h: ...
How do I know where to install my .pc file? These files are put in different places on different operating systems. The goal is to be able to use something like $(INSTALL) mylib.pc $$(pkg-config --pcdir) in the install target. I thought pkg-config would be able to tell me somehow, but can't find anything. I'm looking for a "standalon...
I'm looking for a UUID library for programming in C, that has a reasonable probability of being installed (or at least installable by package manager) on most modern Linux desktops, and works with pkg-config. The following two possibilities seem most obvious: OSSP UUID Libuuid from e2fsprogs Does anybody have experience with these t...
Hi All, I'm trying to compile libjingle on Mac OSX Snow Leopard. The INSTALL file said to './configure', 'make' and 'make install', as usual. But make fails for me. Initially it gave some messages indicating that I didn't have pkg-config installed (I guess OSX doesn't come with it installed?), so I downloaded pkg-config from http://pkgco...
I'm trying to compile svg2pdf on centos. I think I've managed to get the required dependencies installed using yum: sudo yum install librsvg2 sudo yum install cairo The Makefile contains: MYCFLAGS=`pkg-config --cflags librsvg-2.0 cairo-pdf` -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations - Wneste...
For example, if I need Gtk+ include paths. How to use pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --cflags in Xcode project settings? ...
I installed mono in Mac OS X. I was following these instructions on the mono website. The first console application worked because it didn't use any packages. However, when I ran gmcs hello.cs -pkg:gtk-sharp-2.0, it told me I didn't have pkg-config installed. So I installed pkg-config. Now I get this error because pkg-config doesn't know...
If I right click on the "Tarball" project, and go to Options > Files, I see some like this: There are a couple of problems here: "pkg-config folder" uses /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig, instead of /usr/lib/pkgconfig. MonoDevelop itself doesn't look in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig for .pc files. This is a library, so I don't think I want it in...
Trying to follow the directions from: http://github.com/zeromq/jzmq I installed pkg-config using Homebrew and then I run the following commands: ./autogen.sh ./configure The configure fails with: checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... immediate ./configure: line 15263: syntax error near unexpected token `newline' ./c...
I want to use freeglut for my project. In my configure.ac it looks like this, it worked like this for SDL so I just replaced some potions and hoped it works for freeglut as well but it does not. So what am I doing wrong? # Check for freeglut PKG_CHECK_MODULES([FREEGLUT], [freeglut >= 3.0]) AC_SUBST(FREEGLUT_CFLAGS) AC_SUBST(FREEGLUT_LI...
Hi, i want to add a dynamic configuration path (generated from pkg-config) to my project. (this is basically for third-party dependencies like boost, so workspace includes is not appropiate, and filesystem include neither because that would be hardcoded and every developer would have to change that manually) i am on project properties-...
I successfully compiled and installed the latest version of the Boost library onto my linux machine. Now, I would like to be able to use pkg-config to ease the process of providing linking paremeters with GCC. Since I am too lazy for hand-coding my own .pc file, is there a script/tool which would automatically generate the needed .pc fi...
