pkg-config installer for use as build_requires #113

Closed solvingj closed 3 years ago

solvingj commented 6 years ago

Currently, we've had a need to do the following ugly business:

https://github.com/bincrafters/conan-zmq/blob/testing/4.2.2/conanfile.py#L19

And we're getting errors on some travis builds as a result.

Would be nice to have this as a build_requires to streamline the process of depending on it.

That is something new I guess. I have a relatively stable package for zmq (for previous versions) and does not need pkg-config.

I think this can be closed.

We have pkgconf as a drop in replacement and if someone actual needs pkg-config they could open an issue on conan-center-index without any problem. However, until proofed otherwise I would assume that it is not needed
