Summary: cmake should generate .pc file
Description:
or alternatively: cmake should generate makefiles which generates a .pc
file
i will try to explain the idea using VTK as example. suppose i have
downloaded and build VTK in the directory ~/VTK-build. i have my own little
project which is using VTK. now the problem is: how do i get the CXXFLAGS
and LDFLAGS for my project to compile using VTK in ~/VTK-build.
if i use cmake for my project i can use:
FIND_PACKAGE(VTK REQUIRED)
INCLUDE(${VTK_USE_FILE})
if i can't or won't use cmake, i could use the pkg-config command to fetch
the CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS from the prepared .pc file.
