Description Matthew Saltzman 2013-02-17 20:59:45 UTC

Description of problem:
We are looking to include cxxtest-based unit tests in a software system that we distribute.  We'd like our configure script to use pkgconfig to detect if the user has cxxtest installed.  Unfortunately the cxxtest RPM doesn't include or generate a .pc file.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cxxtest-4.1-2.fc18.noarch


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install cxxtest rpm
2. run pkg-config
3.
  
Actual results:
pkg-config can't find info

Expected results:
pkg-config returns useful information

Comment 1 Martin Gieseking 2013-02-20 14:14:49 UTC

It should be easy to add a pkgconfig file to the package. However, since upstream doesn't provide an official .pc file with the sources, it's probably not a good idea to include a local one to the Fedora packages. If your or other third-party applications depended on it, they would possibly fail to build on other platforms because the .pc file is not available there. Currently, a more portable solution would be to check the presence of cxxtestgen or the cxxtest include directory.

I'm going to ask the upstream developers whether they are willing to add a pkgconfig file to one of their future releases.
