[STR New] Link: http://www.fltk.org/str.php?L2180 Version: 1.3-feature pkg-config is today de-facto standard for library config files. Besides it unifies correct flags and library fetching, it intoduces one important feature: dependency resolving, which simplifies cases when one library is used by another. For example, edelib (EDE library) uses FLTK in some parts, so to compile sample programs from command line, one should type: g++ sample.cpp -o sample `pkg-config edelib --cflags --libs` `fltk-config --cxxflags` `fltk-config --ldflags` For these cases, pkg-config introduce "Requires" key that will automatically load required libraries. If fltk.pc, fltk-imags.pc and/or fltk-opengl.pc existed, it could be used as this: g++ sample.cpp -o sample `pkg-config edelib --cflags --libs` and pkg-config will fill needed parts. fltk-config could/should be retained, because pkg-config is not available on all platforms.
