Hi,

I’ve been recently doing a bit of work for an open source project trying to extend it’s support for CMake. I’ve been trying to get CMake to be able to replicate most of the functionality which can be achieved with the existing autoconf-based infrastructure (and have had pretty good success) but am struggling to figure out how to get CMake to generate pkg-config files on unix-ey systems. I’ve done quite a lot of searching, but have not found anything which provides a good solution for our use case.

Do you consider contributing to
https://api.kde.org/ecm/module/ECMGeneratePkgConfigFile.html ?


Hi Konstantin,

Thanks for the reply and pointing me at the ECM repository.

I was hoping that this would be something that CMake would be able to do without requiring an external package - particularly since CMake provides support for finding packages on the system with pkg-config files. I think adding documentation to our project which says "if you want to install portaudio into the host system in a way compatible with autotools-based projects, you will need to get this other repository" seems a little bit much to me.

Cheers,

Nick
