use Alien::pkgconf;

my $cflags = Alien::pkgconf->cflags;
my $libs   = Alien::pkgconf->libs;

DESCRIPTION

This module provides you with the information that you need to invoke pkgconf or link against libpkgconf. It isn't intended to be used directly, but rather to provide the necessary package by a CPAN module that needs libpkgconf, such as PkgConfig::LibPkgConf.

The compiler flags for compiling against libpkgconf.

my $libs = Alien::pkgconf->libs;

my $version = Alien::pkgconf->version;

The libpkgconf version.

bin_dir

my($dir) = Alien::pkgconf->bin_dir;

The directory where you can find pkgconf. If it is not already in the PATH. Adding this to PATH should make tools that require pkgconf work.
