| [Documentation](https://docs.rs/pkg-config) |
| |
| A simple library meant to be used as a build dependency with Cargo packages in |
| order to use the system `pkg-config` tool (if available) to determine where a |
| library is located. |
| |
| You can use this crate directly to probe for specific libraries, or use |
| [system-deps](https://github.com/gdesmott/system-deps) to declare all your |
| `pkg-config` dependencies in `Cargo.toml`. |
| |
| This library requires Rust 1.31+. |
| |
| # Example |
| |
| Find the system library named `foo`, with minimum version 1.2.3: |
| |
| ```rust |
| extern crate pkg_config; |
| |
| fn main() { |
| pkg_config::Config::new().atleast_version("1.2.3").probe("foo").unwrap(); |
| } |
| ``` |
| |
| Find the system library named `foo`, with no version requirement (not |
| recommended): |
| |
| ```rust |
| extern crate pkg_config; |
| |
| fn main() { |
| pkg_config::probe_library("foo").unwrap(); |
| } |
| ``` |
| |
| # External configuration via target-scoped environment variables |
| |
| In cross-compilation context, it is useful to manage separately `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` |
| and a few other variables for the `host` and the `target` platform. |
| |
| The supported variables are: `PKG_CONFIG_PATH`, `PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR`, and |
| `PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR`. |
| |
| Each of these variables can also be supplied with certain prefixes and suffixes, in the following prioritized order: |
| |
| 1. `<var>_<target>` - for example, `PKG_CONFIG_PATH_x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` |
| 2. `<var>_<target_with_underscores>` - for example, `PKG_CONFIG_PATH_x86_64_unknown_linux_gnu` |
| 3. `<build-kind>_<var>` - for example, `HOST_PKG_CONFIG_PATH` or `TARGET_PKG_CONFIG_PATH` |
| 4. `<var>` - a plain `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` |
| |
| This crate will allow `pkg-config` to be used in cross-compilation |
| if `PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR` or `PKG_CONFIG` is set. You can set `PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_CROSS=1` |
| to bypass the compatibility check, but please note that enabling use of `pkg-config` in |
| cross-compilation without appropriate sysroot and search paths set is likely to break builds. |
| |
| Some Rust sys crates support building vendored libraries from source, which may be a work |
| around for lack of cross-compilation support in `pkg-config`. |
