Cmake error: pkg-config tool not found #161

Closed yliu250 closed 11 months ago

By running the "install_gridpack.sh", a Cmake error may be raised saying that "pkg-config tool not found". This is because the Cmake package "pkg-config" is not installed. We can install it by typing "sudo apt-get install pkg-config", and then "source install_gridpack.sh" again to install GridPACK and Python wrapper.

Can we add something to the script that will tell you to install it and add the instructions on how to do it?

FindPkgConfig sets a variable PKG_CONFIG_FOUND to TRUE if the pkg-config executable is found. We could add an error message if this variable is false after calling include(FindPkgConfig) in the top-level CMakeLists.txt file.
