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 Additional info:
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.
