Ian,
we could have the following set of functions :
pkg-config::get-variable(string package, string variable)
pkg-config::exists(string package)
pkg-config::is-atleast-version(string package, string version)
pkg-config::is-max-version(string package, string version)
pkg-config::get-mod-version(string package)
pkg-config::get-libs(string package)
pkg-config::get-cflags(string package)
What do you think ? Is this how we should proceed, or will it be better to
have a task (or set of tasks) for this purpose ?
Should we have a NAnt.UnixTasks assembly for this ?
Gert
