Build library for invoking pkg-config for Rust

pkg-config-rs

Documentation

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 metadeps to declare all your pkg-config dependencies in Cargo.toml.

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();
}
