The PDCurses 3.9 package on SLackBuilds.org now creates a pkg-config file for use in building the Hessling editor 3.3RC8.
https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/libraries/PDCurses/ Here is the x86_64 version of the file, /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libpdcurses-x11.pc ---cut here-------------------------------------------------------------- prefix=/usr exec_prefix=${prefix} libdir=${prefix}/lib64 includedir=${prefix}/include/xcurses version=3.9 Name: PDCurses Description: PDCurses ${version} X11 library Version: ${version} URL: https://pdcurses.org Requires.private: Libs: -l:libXCurses.a -lXaw -lXmu -lXt -lX11 -lXpm -lSM -lICE -lXext Libs.private: Cflags: -DXCURSES -I${includedir} -I/usr/include/X11 ---cut here-------------------------------------------------------------- Ideally this file would be named the same as the library: /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/LibXCurses.pc And also it would have Libs: for dynamic loading and and Libs.private: for static loading. Libs: -lXCurses Libs.private: -l:libXCurses.a -lXaw -lXmu -lXt -lX11 -lXpm -lSM -lICE -lXext More information on creating these files is here: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/pkg-config/ Regards, Richard Narron
