script/pkg-config.pl  view on Meta::CPAN

This is the default name of the real C<pkg-config> and so you have to specifically
enable it if you want it.

=item --script none

Don't install any scripts.

Example, install all script names:

 % perl Makefile.PL --script ppkg-config --script pkg-config.pl --script pkg-config

Example, don't install any scripts:

 % perl Makefile.PL --script none

You can also set the environment variable PERL_PKG_CONFIG_SCRIPTS to the
desired --script value (separating each script name with a comma C<,>) to
ensure that upgrades of PkgConfig do the same.

=head2 CAVEATS

On Strawberry Perl C<ppkg-config> acts like Strawberry is the system.
This means that

=over 4

=item

The .pc files that are bundled with Strawberry are searched by default.

=item

The Strawberry include and lib directories are used to compute the
exclusion lists.

=back

As of Strawberry 5.20.0.1 PkgConfig is bundled with Strawberry and
C<pkg-config> is installed by default (in addition to C<ppkg-config>,
though the C<ppkg-config> alias is NOT bundled with Strawberry itself).

For details on how to patch the .pc files bundled with older Strawberries,
see the C<README.win32> that comes with this Distribution.

=head2 BUGS

The order of the flags is not exactly matching to that of C<pkg-config>. From my
own observation, it seems this module does a better job, but I might be wrong.

Unlike C<pkg-config>, the scripts C<--exists> function will return nonzero if
a package B<or> any of its dependencies are missing. This differs from the
behavior of C<pkg-config> which will just check for the definition of the
package itself (without dependencies).
