This assumes +PROG supports the pkg-config interface (as the popular pkgconf +implementation does). If PROG is not supplied, the PKG_CONFIG environment +variable is used to find the program to use, and if empty/unset, it defaults +to pkg-config. + - To build a .pc file for each library exported by this package, and then +install it to the pkg-config registry, in other words to *write* information +so that other software can use pkg-config to build against this package, +use --enable-pkgconfig. + + pkg-config and slashpackage (see below) configure options can be set +together, but the slashpackage convention provides its own installation +policies that generally make it unnecessary to use pkg-config.
