Do you consider contributing to https://api.kde.org/ecm/module/ECMGeneratePkgConfigFile.html ? > > The project is called portaudio (a cross-platform, C, real-time audio > library) and at present there is one CMakeLists.txt file which does > everything (I’ve tried to keep it clean), you can see it here: > https://app.assembla.com/spaces/portaudio/git/source/cmake_updates/CMakeLists.txt > > It looks for various audio libraries which may be present on the system using > find_package() and associates them with the library which it defines using > target_link_libraries(). This is all great when my CMake project includes > portaudio (via add_subdirectory() and target_link_libraries() with one of the > portaudio library targets), but if I want “make install”-like functionality > so that others can use a portaudio installation without requiring CMake, I > would like to be able to generate a pkg-config file which contains the > necessary linker arguments to pass when linking against the library.
