CPS-Config

CPS-Config has been designed to be used a drop-in replacement for pkg-config, with at least some features from pkgconf, as well as its own features.

Building

You will need at least a C++ compiler, the Meson build system, and Ninja. It is currently only tested on Linux.

Basic instructions are:

meson setup builddir
ninja -C builddir test

Running the functional tests requires Python >= 3.11

Meson currently is configured with support to build all of its dependencies from source if they are not otherwise detected by fetching them at configure time. If this is not desirable, calling:

meson setup builddir --wrap-mode=nofallback

Will disable this behavior. This will require that all dependencies have been installed and are discoverable at configure time.

Test execution can be controlled by setting the test option to Meson:

meson setup builddir -Dtests=disabled

Or, alternatively, to enable tests:

meson configure builddir -Dtests=enabled

This is a Meson feature option, which can have a state of disabled, enabled, or auto, as described in the linked documentation. The default is auto, which is usually desirable for end users.
