PkgConfig This module provides a pure perl version of pkg-config, a program that provides compiler and linker flags for installed packages. See: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/pkg-config/ for the original. The POD for the module contains a more detailed description of how it works and the differences from the original. You can view it before installing using perldoc: % perldoc lib/PkgConfig.pm INSTALLATION To install this module, run the following commands: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install You may change the scripts that get installed by using the --script option one or more times. For example, if you prefer not to install pkg-config.pl you could do this: % perl Makefile.PL --script=ppkg-config Or if you want to use ppkg-config and pkg-config (say you are on a platform that does not provide it): % perl Makefile.PL --script=pkg-config --script=ppkg-config Or if you don't want any scripts installed at all: % perl Makefile.PL --script=none The default is "--script=ppkg-config --script=pkg-config.pl" except for Windows, where the default is just "--script=ppkg-config".
