Checking platform-specific stuff is not in the scope of pkg-config. There are other tools to do that, the most widespread being autoconf, and they should all be able to work with pkg-config. > - Assuming it did work, there would be the problem that when you > install python, you don't necessarily have pkg-config. Yes, and just like for many other things, the lack of dependencies is a serious problem on Windows. Yet it is sad to see other OSes having to adapt to tools that only exist because of this OS. > That being said, I agree that something like pkg-config, adapted to > python needs, is much better than the current python scheme. If something is missing in pkg-config (which is not trivial, since it is already very extensible), I’m pretty sure we could get the upstream developers to integrate the necessary changes.
