DESCRIPTION

19     pkg.m4 is a collection of autoconf macros which help to configure com‐
20     piler and linker flags for development libraries. This allows build sys‐
21     tems to detect other dependencies and use them with the system toolchain.
22

AUTOCONF MACROS

24   PKG_PREREQ(MIN-VERSION)
25     Checks that the version of the pkg.m4 autoconf macros in use is at least
26     MIN-VERSION. This can be used to ensure a particular pkg.m4 macro will be
27     available.
28
29   PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG([MIN-VERSION])
30     Checks for an implementation of pkg-config which is at least MIN-VERSION
31     or newer.
32
33   PKG_CHECK_MODULES(VARIABLE-PREFIX, MODULES [,ACTION-IF-FOUND [,ACTION-IF-
34     NOT-FOUND]])
35   PKG_CHECK_MODULES_STATIC(VARIABLE-PREFIX, MODULES [,ACTION-IF-FOUND
36     [,ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND]])
37     Checks whether a given module set exists, and if so, defines CFLAGS and
38     LIBS variables prefixed by VARIABLE-PREFIX with the output from --cflags
39     and --libs respectively.
40
41     The optional ACTION-IF-FOUND and ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND arguments are shell
42     fragments that should be executed if the module set is found or not
43     found.
44
45     If $PKG_CONFIG is not defined, the PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG macro will be exe‐
46     cuted to locate a pkg-config implementation.
47
48     The PKG_CHECK_MODULES_STATIC macro provides the same behaviour as
49     PKG_CHECK_MODULES with static linking enabled via the --static flag.
50
51   PKG_INSTALLDIR(DIRECTORY)
52     Defines the variable $pkgconfigdir as the location where a package should
53     install pkg-config .pc files.
54
55     By default the directory is $libdir/pkgconfig, but the default can be
56     changed by passing the DIRECTORY parameter.
57
58     This value can be overriden with the --with-pkgconfigdir configure param‐
59     eter.
60
61   PKG_NOARCH_INSTALLDIR(DIRECTORY)
62     Defines the variable $noarch_pkgconfigdir as the location where a package
63     should install pkg-config .pc files.
64
65     By default the directory is $datadir/pkgconfig, but the default can be
66     changed by passing the DIRECTORY parameter.
67
68     This value can be overriden with the --with-noarch-pkgconfigdir configure
69     parameter.
70
71   PKG_CHECK_VAR(VARIABLE, MODULE, CONFIG-VARIABLE, [ACTION-IF-FOUND],
72     [ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND])
73     Retrieves the value of the pkg-config variable CONFIG-VARIABLE from
74     MODULE and stores it in the VARIABLE variable.
75
76     Note that repeated usage of VARIABLE is not recommended as the check will
77     be skipped if the variable is already set.
78
79   PKG_WITH_MODULES(VARIABLE-PREFIX, MODULES, [ACTION-IF-FOUND],[ACTION-IF-
80     NOT-FOUND], [DESCRIPTION], [DEFAULT])
81     Prepares a "--with-" configure option using the lowercase VARIABLE-PREFIX
82     name, merging the behaviour of AC_ARG_WITH and PKG_CHECK_MODULES in a
83     single macro.
84
85   PKG_HAVE_WITH_MODULES(VARIABLE-PREFIX, MODULES, [DESCRIPTION], [DEFAULT])
86     Convenience macro to trigger AM_CONDITIONAL after a PKG_WITH_MODULES
87     check. VARIABLE-PREFIX is exported as a make variable.
88
89   PKG_HAVE_DEFINE_WITH_MODULES(VARIABLE-PREFIX, MODULES, [DESCRIPTION],
90     [DEFAULT])
91     Convenience macro to trigger AM_CONDITIONAL and AC_DEFINE after a
92     PKG_WITH_MODULES check. VARIABLE-PREFIX is exported as a make variable.
