qt Qmake generating pkgconfig for a project

Question

I have been told that it is possible to generate a pkg-config file through qmake, but I have no idea how to do it. I have been looking online for a while, and it seems as though it is something you just have to know how to do. Can someone give me an example, or point me to some sort of guide/tutorial?

Answer 1

Is this what you are looking for?

To generate pkg-config using qmake you have to add to (modify) your project file (*.pro file):

unix {
    CONFIG += link_pkgconfig
    PKGCONFIG += <pc_file_without_extension>
}
