First comment: pkg-config sucks (it prints unstructured, toolchain dependent information on stdout) Second comment: pkg-config is not widespread outside of Linux (and maybe *BSD, don't know), so find modules should works also without pkgconfig Third comment: I think much better than the somewhat complicated FindPkgConfig.cmake would be a real cmake command which parses the pkgconfig files directly. This would be faster and it would be easier to get the information. > maybe even .la from libtool. Hmm, no, they should die. > That would make many find modules obsolete. Let's say, it would make them simpler, some simple wrapping would still be needed.
