pkgconfig not available in conda package #14

Closed wesm closed 8 months ago

Tools that rely on pkgconfig cannot find the installed package in $ENV/lib/pkgconfig

scopatz commented 6 years ago

Hi @wesm - I am a little unclear about what you mean here. Are you saying downstream tools cannot find re2 via pkg-config?

wesm commented 6 years ago

On closer look, it doesn't appear that re2 supports pkgconfig. This is probably something that we should fix upstream in re2. cc @kou

re2 supports pkg-config (re2.pc) with Makefile build but doesn't support with CMake build.

If we use Makefile instead of CMake, we can support pkg-config.

Or we can support pkg-config by we add pkg-config support to CMake build in upstream. I've sent an e-mail to re2-dev for this: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/re2-dev/bZmRcjZ1PjY

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/re2-dev/bZmRcjZ1PjY/_3tuSm7sAAAJ re2 developers don't expect to use CMake by users who have GNU make. It may be better that we use Makefile instead of CMake in build.sh.

That's fine with me

Recent re2 builds contain lib/pkgconfig/re2.pc, so closing this as outdated.
