PkgConfig::LibPkgConf::Package - Represents a package
use PkgConfig::LibPkgConf::Client;
my $client = PkgConfig::LibPkgConf::Client->new;
$client->env;
my $pkg = $client->find('libarchive');
# use with system in scalar form:
my $cflags = $pkg->cflags;
my $libs = $pkg->libs;
system "$cc $cflags foo.c";
system "$cc -o foo foo.o $libs";
# use with system in list form:
my @cflags = $pkg->list_cflags;
my @libs = $pkg->list_libs;
system $cc, @cflags, 'foo.c';
system $cc, -p => 'foo', 'foo.o', @libs;
The PkgConfig::LibPkgConf::Package object stores package information. Part of the package information is the compiler and linker flags. This can be fetched as strings with cflags and libs and as a list with list_cflags and list_libs. In the string form, escapes are retained, but in list form the white space escapes are converted into spaces. That means if you are using the string form of system/exec you should use the string accessors, and if you are using the list form of system/exec you should use the list accessors.
Internal reference count used by pkgconf.
The id of the package.
The filename of the .pc file.
The real name for the package.
The version of the package.
Description of the package.
URL for the package.
TODO
Library flags. This usually includes things like -L/foo/lib and -lfoo.
Static library flags.
Compiler flags. This usually includes things like -I/foo/include and -DFOO=1.
Static compiler flags.
my @fragments = $package->list_libs;
Library flags as a list of fragments PkgConfig::LibPkgConf::Fragment. This is similar to the libs method above, but since it returns a list instead of a single string, it can be used to filter for specific flags. For example:
# equivalent to pkgconf --libs-only-L
my @lib_dirs = grep { $_->type eq 'L' } $package->list_libs;
# equivalent to pkgconf --libs-only-l
my @libs = grep { $_->type eq 'l' } $package->list_libs;
my @fragments = $package->list_libs_static;
Similar to list_libs, but for the static libs flags.
my @fragments = $package->list_cflags;
Compiler flags as a list of fragments PkgConfig::LibPkgConf::Fragment. This is similar to the cflags method above, but since it returns a list instead of a single string, it can be used to filter for specific flags. For example:
# equivalent to pkgconf --cflags-only-I
my @include_dirs = grep { $_->type eq 'I' } $package->list_cflags;
# equivalent to pkgconf --cflags-only-other
my @other_cflags = grep { $_->type ne 'I' } $package->list_cflags;
my @fragments = $package->list_cflags_static;
Similar to list_cflags, but for the static compiler flags.
my $value = $package->variable($key);
Look up the value for the given variable. Returns the value if found, otherwise it will return undef (technically empty list).
