# pkg-config

pkg-config using C++/QtCore

##Build##

```

mkdir build

cd build

qmake ..

```

Or build it in-tree if you want, I'm not your mom.

##Requirements##

A C++ compiler and at least QtCore with development headers and qmake.

##Usage##

```

pkg-config [-A ]

           [-D ]

           [-L]

           [--atleast-pkgconfig-version ]

           [--version]

           [--exists ]

           [--short-errors]

           [--print-warnings]

           [--print-errors]

           [--cflags ]

           [--libs ]

```

* **-A** - Add a .pc file search path for the current user.

* **-D** - Delete a .pc file search path for the current user.

* **-L** - List .pc file search paths for the current user.

* **-h** - Usage information.

* **--atleast-pkgconfig-version** - Returns 0 if we meet the version requirement, -1 otherwise.

* **--version** - The version of this pkg-config.

* **--exists** - Returns 0 if the specified package exists, -1 otherwise.

* **--short-errors** - Print errors in short form.

* **--print-warnings** - Print warnings encountered.

* **--print-errors** - Print errors encountered.

* **--cflags** - Output the cflags specified by the package.

* **--libs** - Output the ldflags (libs) as specified by the package.

##Other Stuff##

* **Is this XDG/Freedesktop compliant?**

* Almost certainly not.

* **Does it work?**

* Almost every time.

* **Why is it here?**

* Because I wrote it, and I wanted to share it.

* **What is it for?**

* A defunct project where Qt was the ubiquitous framework. Glib wasn't installed, and building it specifically for a single tool was silly.

* **Does pkg-config REALLY need to link against Qt?**

* No, in fact a saner solution would be pkg-config written in Python, Perl, LUA, or similar. A compiled tool for this task is overkill.
