Note that one downside to that is that people not using CMake cannot make use of that. They still need a pkgconfig file. So in a sense, pkgconfig is the common denominator everybody can use, regardless of build system. On 27/03/18 20:36, Alan W. Irwin wrote: On 2018-03-27 21:19+0900 suzuki

Hi all, I'm looking for 2 features to generate pkg-config pc files. I already wrote something, but some experts advised that there would be many people trying to do such, and there might be existing solution. If such functions are already included in cmake's official modules, please let me know.
