- staticMode : bool
- sysroot : path
Detailed Description
The pkgconfig module is used to fine-tune the behavior of the pkg-config tool, which is potentially employed when looking up dependencies.
Property Documentation
executableFilePath : string |
The path to the pkg-config executable.
Default: auto-detected
libDirs : stringList |
Set this if you need to overwrite the default search directories. The values given here will be forwarded to the tool via the PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR environment variable.
Note: You do not need to set this for cross-compilation in order to point pkg-config to the sysroot. Qbs does that for you.
Default: Undefined
staticMode : bool |
If this property is true, then calls to pkg-config will include the --static option. Set this if your product is to be linked statically.
Default: false
sysroot : path |
This property controls the value of the PkgConfigProbe.sysroot property.
Set this property if you need to overwrite the default search sysroot path used by pkg-config.
This can be useful if pkg-config files are located in the directory other than qbs.sysroot. This is the case on macOS platform - all XCode profiles are sysrooted to the SDK directory, but pkg-config is typically intalled using Brew and resides in the /usr/local directory.
Setting this property to undefined or empty ("") value will use pkg-config's default search paths:
qbs build modules.pkgconfig.sysroot:undefined
Default: "" on macOS, qbs.sysroot on other platforms
