I think on visual studio pkg is kinda supported but not out of the box. Someone who uses VS can confirm that. Can CMake always use pkg or is it even relevant since CMake we have a separate chain? For Windows build, we require CMake now anyway -- so it would then be a "If CMake supports it on windows we can do it"? On mingw/msys2 which I use for windows building - pkg-config is well supported. So fine with me. That said even if we did go down the path of pkgsrc I think we need to support geos-config for a couple of minor versions to give libraries that depend on GEOS time to change. For example PostGIS expects a geos-config file. So we'd have to change all supported versions to allow .pc for geos. Or am I missing something here? Speaking of reverting the last change that started this whole discussion -- does anyone have thoughts on alternative to printf for sh? I would like to keep the intent if possible without causing backward compatibility issues. I assume these are the sections that would need reverting. https://git.osgeo.org/gitea/geos/geos/pulls/99.diff - in the tools/geos-config.cmake #!/bin/sh index 24a5725..abef1e3 100644 --- a/tools/geos-config.cmake +++ b/tools/geos-config.cmake @@ -1,12 +1,12 @@ -#!/bin/sh +#!/bin/bash -e -prefix=@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@ -exec_prefix=@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@/bin -libdir=@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@/lib +# escape path +prefix=$(printf %q "@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@") +libdir=${prefix}/lib and tools/geos-config.in --- a/tools/geos-config.in +++ b/tools/geos-config.in @@ -1,11 +1,12 @@ -#!/bin/sh -prefix=@prefix@ -exec_prefix=@exec_prefix@ -libdir=@libdir@ +#!/bin/bash -e + +# escape paths +prefix=$(printf %q "@prefix@") +libdir=$(printf %q "@libdir@") Thanks, Regina _______________________________________________ geos-devel mailing list geos-devel@lists.osgeo.org https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/geos-devel
