Instead, use the :module:`FindPkgConfig` module or the :command:`cmake_pkg_config` command. This module provided a macro for finding external packages using ``pkg-config`` command-line utility. It has been replaced by the more convenient ``FindPkgConfig`` module, which is commonly used in :ref:`Find Modules`. As of CMake 3.31, the built-in :command:`cmake_pkg_config` command provides even more features to extract package information. Macros ^^^^^^ This module defines the following macro: .. command:: pkgconfig Finds external package using ``pkg-config`` and sets result variables: .. code-block:: cmake pkgconfig( ) This macro invokes ``pkg-config`` command-line utility to retrieve the package information into specified variables. If ``pkg-config`` or the specified package ```` is NOT found, the result variables remain empty. The arguments are: ```` Name of the package as defined in its PC metadata file (``.pc``). ```` Variable name to store the package's include directory. ```` Variable name to store the directory containing the package library. ```` Variable name to store the linker flags for the package. ```` Variable name to store the compiler flags for the package. Examples ^^^^^^^^ Using this module fills the desired information into the four given variables: .. code-block:: cmake include(UsePkgConfig) pkgconfig( libart-2.0 LIBART_INCLUDEDIR LIBART_LIBDIR LIBART_LDFLAGS LIBART_CFLAGS ) Migrating to the :module:`FindPkgConfig` would look something like this: .. code-block:: cmake find_package(PkgConfig QUIET) if(PKG_CONFIG_FOUND) pkg_check_modules(LIBART QUIET libart-2.0) endif() message(STATUS "LIBART_INCLUDEDIR=${LIBART_INCLUDEDIR}") message(STATUS "LIBART_LIBDIR=${LIBART_LIBDIR}") message(STATUS "LIBART_LDFLAGS=${LIBART_LDFLAGS}") message(STATUS "LIBART_CFLAGS=${LIBART_CFLAGS}") #]=======================================================================] find_program(PKGCONFIG_EXECUTABLE NAMES pkg-config ) macro(PKGCONFIG _package _include_DIR _link_DIR _link_FLAGS _cflags) message(STATUS "WARNING: you are using the obsolete 'PKGCONFIG' macro, use FindPkgConfig") # reset the variables at the beginning set(${_include_DIR}) set(${_link_DIR}) set(${_link_FLAGS}) set(${_cflags}) # if pkg-config has been found if(PKGCONFIG_EXECUTABLE) execute_process(COMMAND ${PKGCONFIG_EXECUTABLE} ${_package} --exists RESULT_VARIABLE _return_VALUE OUTPUT_VARIABLE _pkgconfigDevNull ) # and if the package of interest also exists for pkg-config, then get the information if(NOT _return_VALUE) execute_process(COMMAND ${PKGCONFIG_EXECUTABLE} ${_package} --variable=includedir OUTPUT_VARIABLE ${_include_DIR} OUTPUT_STRIP_TRAILING_WHITESPACE ) string(REGEX REPLACE "[\r\n]" " " ${_include_DIR} "${${_include_DIR}}") execute_process(COMMAND ${PKGCONFIG_EXECUTABLE} ${_package} --variable=libdir OUTPUT_VARIABLE ${_link_DIR} OUTPUT_STRIP_TRAILING_WHITESPACE ) string(REGEX REPLACE "[\r\n]" " " ${_link_DIR} "${${_link_DIR}}") execute_process(COMMAND ${PKGCONFIG_EXECUTABLE} ${_package} --libs OUTPUT_VARIABLE ${_link_FLAGS} OUTPUT_STRIP_TRAILING_WHITESPACE ) string(REGEX REPLACE "[\r\n]" " " ${_link_FLAGS} "${${_link_FLAGS}}") execute_process(COMMAND ${PKGCONFIG_EXECUTABLE} ${_package} --cflags OUTPUT_VARIABLE ${_cflags} OUTPUT_STRIP_TRAILING_WHITESPACE ) string(REGEX REPLACE "[\r\n]" " " ${_cflags} "${${_cflags}}") else() message(STATUS "PKGCONFIG() indicates that ${_package} is not installed (install the package which contains ${_package}.pc if you want to support this feature)") endif() # if pkg-config has NOT been found, INFORM the user else() message(STATUS "WARNING: PKGCONFIG() indicates that the tool pkg-config has not been found on your system.
