could you provide a pkg-config ".pc" file? about fuzzylite HOT 7 CLOSED

Any suggestions on how can I create a .pc file?

See http://people.freedesktop.org/~dbn/pkg-config-guide.html
A minimal working example could look like that:

prefix=/usr/local
exec_prefix=${prefix}
includedir=${exec_prefix}/include
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib

Name: fuzzylite
Description: A fuzzy logic control library in C++
Version: 5.0
Libs: -L${libdir} -lfuzzylite
Cflags: -I${includedir}/fl

Typically the prefix, includedir and libdir have to be set dynamically to respect the paths chosen by the user.
You can do that with cmake, using a pre-formatted fuzzylite.pc.in file that you can configure during the cmake call to create a fuzzylite.pc file based on e.g. CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX, CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR, etc.

Thanks! :-)

Could you also replace ${exec_prefix}/lib by @CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR@ ?
Here on Mageia (and on most RPM-based distros) the 64bit libraries are placed in /usr/lib64

Same in Debian. Nothing is ever installed into /usr/local/. Instead, libraries are installed into multiarch paths like in case of fuzzylite /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfuzzylite.so.5.0 for the shared library and /usr/include/fl/fuzzylite.h for the development headers. Since the shared library is in a different path depending on the architecture the package is built for, this has to be made dynamic depending on @CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR@.

Done. Thank you for your help!

Could you also make the instllation path of fuzzylite.pc configurable? In Debian, the libdir will have an architecture specific value, so fuzzylite.pc differs between architectures and thus has to be installed in an architecture specifc path. The following fixes this:
