pkg-config-rs
A simple library meant to be used as a build dependency with Cargo packages in
order to use the system pkg-config
tool (if available) to determine where a
library is located.
You can use this crate directly to probe for specific libraries, or use
system-deps to declare all your
pkg-config
dependencies in Cargo.toml
.
This library requires Rust 1.30+.
Example
Find the system library named foo
, with minimum version 1.2.3:
extern crate pkg_config;
fn main() {
pkg_config::Config::new().atleast_version("1.2.3").probe("foo").unwrap();
}
Find the system library named foo
, with no version requirement (not
recommended):
extern crate pkg_config;
fn main() {
pkg_config::probe_library("foo").unwrap();
}
External configuration via target-scoped environment variables
In cross-compilation context, it is useful to manage separately PKG_CONFIG_PATH
and a few other variables for the host
and the target
platform.
The supported variables are: PKG_CONFIG_PATH
, PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR
, and
PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR
.
Each of these variables can also be supplied with certain prefixes and suffixes, in the following prioritized order:
<var>_<target>
- for example,PKG_CONFIG_PATH_x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
<var>_<target_with_underscores>
- for example,PKG_CONFIG_PATH_x86_64_unknown_linux_gnu
<build-kind>_<var>
- for example,HOST_PKG_CONFIG_PATH
orTARGET_PKG_CONFIG_PATH
<var>
- a plainPKG_CONFIG_PATH
This crate will allow pkg-config
to be used in cross-compilation
if PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR
or PKG_CONFIG
is set. You can set PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_CROSS=1
to bypass the compatibility check, but please note that enabling use of pkg-config
in
cross-compilation without appropriate sysroot and search paths set is likely to break builds.
Some Rust sys crates support building vendored libraries from source, which may be a work
around for lack of cross-compilation support in pkg-config
.
