It is typically used to compile and link against one -or more libraries. - -pkg-config retrieves information about packages from special metadata files. -These files are named after the package, with the extension .pc. By default, -pkg-config looks in the following directories: ${PREFIX}/libdata/pkgconfig, -${LOCALBASE}/libdata/pkgconfig and ${X11BASE}/libdata/pkgconfig for these -files; it will also look in the list of directories specified by the -PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable. - -The package name specified on the pkg-config command line is defined to be the -name of the metadata file, minus the .pc extension.
