guidod's Miscellaneous (released)
Creates a generic PACKAGE-config file that has all the things that
you want, hmm, well, atleast it has --cflags, --version, --libs.
Ahhm, did you see ac_path_generic in the autoconf-archive? ;-)
this macros saves you all the typing for a pkg-config.in script,
you don't even need to distribute one along. Place this macro in
your configure.ac, et voila, you got one that you want to install.
oh, btw, if the first arg looks like "mylib -lwhat' then it will go
to be added to the --libs, and mylib is extracted.
the defaults: $1 = $PACKAGE $LIBS $2 = $VERSION there is also an
AC_SUBST(GENERIC_CONFIG) that will be set to the name of the file
that we did output in this macro. Use as:
install-exec-local: install-generic-config
install-generic-config:
$(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)
$(INSTALL_SCRIPT) @GENERIC_CONFIG@ $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)
