Such a tool/shell script would be good. Presumably it's also what
Matt was
really looking for ?
I think it would be a good addition. The tool would check if
GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES is set,
if it is, it would then source GNUstep.sh and iterate over whatever
dirs you
want to
iterate over to check if libraries are there ?
sort of what i was looking for, and this is what the gnustep.pc
basically does
(I didn't add the -I/-L/-l stuff which is what pkg-config is normally
for though)
just if its going to be supported to compile with only
$GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES set
stuff _will_ need access to the older variables that were previously
available
but it doesn't depend upon GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES or any ivars, being
generated when you
configure make. so if you want multiple gnustep.pc's lying around
you'll need to fiddle with
PKG_CONFIG_PATH instead of setting GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES
e.g.
$ pkg-config gnustep --variable=system_root
/usr/GNUstep/System
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/tmp:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
pkg-config gnustep --variable=system_root
/example/System
so the idea was we replace all the environment variables with that we
install
gnustep.pc by default into somewhere pkg-config will find it, then
people who want
non-standard stuff fiddle with it can set PKG_CONFIG_PATH
but it should just work by default
