NAME

Alien::Build::Plugin::PkgConfig::LibPkgConf - Probe system and determine library or tool properties using PkgConfig::LibPkgConf

VERSION

version 0.86_01

SYNOPSIS

 use alienfile;
 plugin 'PkgConfig::LibPkgConf' => (
   pkg_name => 'libfoo',
 );

DESCRIPTION

Note: in most case you will want to use Alien::Build::Plugin::Download::Negotiate instead. It picks the appropriate fetch plugin based on your platform and environment. In some cases you may need to use this plugin directly instead.

This plugin provides Probe and Gather steps for pkg-config based packages. It uses PkgConfig::LibPkgConf to accomplish this task.

This plugin is part of the Alien::Build core For Now, but may be removed in a future date. While It Seemed Like A Good Idea at the time, it may not be appropriate to keep it in core. If it is spun off it will get its own distribution some time in the future.

PROPERTIES

pkg_name

The package name. If this is a list reference then .pc files with all those package names must be present.

minimum_version

The minimum required version that is acceptable version as provided by the system.
