UsePkgConfig: Update documentation
This module is deprecated yet still documentation output can be improved a bit to provide relevant info where to go instead and how to "migrate" to FindPkgConfig. Also in the near future, this can be further extended or adjusted with `cmake_pkg_config()` built-in command.

Use :module:`FindPkgConfig` instead.
|
|
||||||
|
This module should no longer be used. Instead, use the
|
||||||
|
:module:`FindPkgConfig` module or the :command:`cmake_pkg_config` command.
|

|
|
||||||
|
This module provided a macro for finding external packages using
|
||||||
|
``pkg-config`` command-line utility. It has been replaced by the more
|
||||||
|
convenient ``FindPkgConfig`` module, which is commonly used in
|
||||||
|
:ref:`Find Modules`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As of CMake 3.31, the built-in :command:`cmake_pkg_config` command provides
|
||||||
|
even more features to extract package information.

This module defines the following macro:

This module defines the following macro:
|

|
|

PKGCONFIG(package includedir libdir linkflags cflags)
|
.. command:: pkgconfig
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Calling PKGCONFIG will fill the desired information into the 4 given
|
Finds external package using ``pkg-config`` and sets result variables:
|
||||||
arguments, e.g. PKGCONFIG(libart-2.0 LIBART_INCLUDE_DIR
|
|
||||||
LIBART_LINK_DIR LIBART_LINK_FLAGS LIBART_CFLAGS) if pkg-config was NOT
|
.. code-block:: cmake
|
||||||
found or the specified software package doesn't exist, the variable
|
|
||||||
will be empty when the function returns, otherwise they will contain
|
pkgconfig(<package> <includedir> <libdir> <linkflags> <cflags>)
|
||||||
the respective information
|
|
||||||
|
This macro invokes ``pkg-config`` command-line utility to retrieve the package
|
||||||
|
information into specified variables. If ``pkg-config`` or the specified
|
||||||
|
package ``<package>`` is NOT found, the result variables remain empty.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The arguments are:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
``<package>``
|
||||||
|
Name of the package as defined in its PC metadata file (``<package>.pc``).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
``<includedir>``
|
||||||
|
Variable name to store the package's include directory.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
``<libdir>``
|
||||||
|
Variable name to store the directory containing the package library.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
``<linkflags>``
|
||||||
|
Variable name to store the linker flags for the package.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
``<cflags>``
|
||||||
|
Variable name to store the compiler flags for the package.
|
||||||
|
|

Examples
|
||||||
|
^^^^^^^^
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Using this module fills the desired information into the four given variables:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. code-block:: cmake
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
include(UsePkgConfig)
|
||||||
|
pkgconfig(
|
||||||
|
libart-2.0
|
||||||
|
LIBART_INCLUDEDIR
|
||||||
|
LIBART_LIBDIR
|
||||||
|
LIBART_LDFLAGS
|
||||||
|
LIBART_CFLAGS
|
||||||
|
)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Migrating to the :module:`FindPkgConfig` would look something like this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. code-block:: cmake
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
find_package(PkgConfig QUIET)
|
||||||
|
if(PKG_CONFIG_FOUND)
|
||||||
|
pkg_check_modules(LIBART QUIET libart-2.0)
|
||||||
|
endif()
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
message(STATUS "LIBART_INCLUDEDIR=${LIBART_INCLUDEDIR}")
|
||||||
|
message(STATUS "LIBART_LIBDIR=${LIBART_LIBDIR}")
|
||||||
|
message(STATUS "LIBART_LDFLAGS=${LIBART_LDFLAGS}")
|
||||||
|
message(STATUS "LIBART_CFLAGS=${LIBART_CFLAGS}")
