I am trying to fix kdesdk's broken attempt to link to subversion (it
croaks when apr is not in a standard include path). I *do* have
apr-config accessible so I can use that to get the right paths, but
I'm having some trouble parsing --link-ld. Specifically, I am trying
to iterate over each option and set LIBRARIES or LIB_PATHS as
appropriate. Unfortunately this means I have to do something to split
the single string into arguments, and I would /prefer/ for it to do
proper shell splitting just in case an arg has a space in it.
Is there a "right" way to do this? Or is there a better way to get
LIBRARIES and LIB_PATHS from apr-config? (Note: while apr-config is
found, pkg-config apr is not, so I can't use pkg-config :-(.)
I assume that apr-config generates command-line results for the Apache
Runtime Library similar to what pkg-config does in general. If that
assumption is correct, then to parse the apr-config output you should
follow
what is done in FindPkgConfig.cmake (a replacement for
UsePkgConfig.cmake in
CMake cvs, but not released yet). I don't know the implementation details
in FindPkgConfig.cmake, but I do know the pkg_check_modules macro in that
module file delivers nicely parsed (and complete) pkg-config results.
I don't have FindPkgConfig.cmake handy, but UsePkgConfig.cmake uses
'pkgconfig --variable' which is not supported by apr-config. So I think
I still have the same problem, how to take a string that might look like
'-lfoo -lbar -L"foo bar/thelib"' and split it into '-lfoo', '-lbar' and
'-L"foo bar/thelib". From there I can use STRING to strip the flag and
SET/LIST to build the needed variables.
