NAME
Alien::Build::Plugin::PkgConfig::PP - Probe system and determine library or tool properties using PkgConfig.pm

VERSION
version 2.84

SYNOPSIS
 use alienfile;
 plugin 'PkgConfig::PP' => (
   pkg_name => 'libfoo',
 );

DESCRIPTION
Note: in most case you will want to use Alien::Build::Plugin::PkgConfig::Negotiate instead. It picks the appropriate fetch plugin based on your platform and environment. In some cases you may need to use this plugin directly instead.

This plugin provides Probe and Gather steps for pkg-config based packages. It uses PkgConfig to accomplish this task.

PROPERTIES

  pkg_name
The package name. If this is a list reference then .pc files with all those package names must be present. The first name will be the primary and used by default once installed. For the subsequent ".pc" files you can use the Alien::Base alt method to retrieve the alternate configurations once the Alien is installed.

  atleast_version
The minimum required version that is acceptable version as provided by the system.

  exact_version
The exact required version that is acceptable version as provided by the system.

  max_version
The max required version that is acceptable version as provided by the system.

  minimum_version
Alias for "atleast_version" for backward compatibility.

METHODS

  available
 my $bool = Alien::Build::Plugin::PkgConfig::PP->available;
