Title: pkg-config support
Post by: JordyD on August 03, 2009, 05:05:44 am

It would make it much easier to use SFML. It would mean I don't have to manually edit configure.ac, too.

What do you say?

Easier in which way? What configure.ac are you talking about?

Anjuta (an IDE) uses autotools and makefiles to build projects. In order to build a project it has to know what it depends on. Libraries that use pkg-config are easy to add through project properties. Anything that doesn't use pkg-config needs to be added manually by editing the configure.ac file, which is a part of autoconf.

Anyways, I've resolved the problem by using a different IDE, since I'm too lazy to learn how to edit configure.ac files. But it would still be nice to have.
