[Nexus-developers] pkg-config and NeXus

[Akeroyd, FA (Freddie)]

Pkg-config looks very elegant to use for Makefiles etc. but I think that
nxbuild may live on as you cannot be sure that pkg-config will be available
on the system; also a user may install nexus to their own area and not be
able to update the global pkg-config configuration area. Though you can get
round the latter problem by something like 

env PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/my/pkgconfig/area cc myproc.c 'pkg-config --cflags
--libs nexus'

using 

nxbuild program.c
 
might seem preferable to them; of course nxbuild itself can check for and
use pkg-config if it is available and so serve as an example of how to use
it

Freddie
