Support for pkgconfig
---------------------
Key: MOJO-790
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MOJO-790
Project: Mojo
Issue Type: Wish
Components: native
Environment: Unix/Linux, maybe Windows
Reporter: Holger Hoffstätte
pkgconfig (http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/) is a handy tool for getting
information about an installed library/package:
$pkg-config --cflags neon
-D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -DNE_LFS -I/usr/include/neon
$pkg-config --libs neon
-lneon -lz -lssl -lcrypto -ldl -lexpat
There is a patch for ant's cpp-tasks which I have been using with great success
(http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1185069&group_id=36177&atid=416923)
and it would be really cool if maven-native-plugin would offer the same
functionality. Automatically extracting CFLAGS or libs to link is a godsend for
installation on multiple platforms where dependencies or necessary #defines
often vary for the same package.
