About pkg-config
Pkg-config is a helper tool used when compiling applications and libraries. Software projects often depend on external libraries, and a build process needs to know where their headers and linker files are located. A helper can provide this metadata so compilers and linkers receive the appropriate options. Pkg-config is intended to support that part of the build workflow. The supplied information does not specify how package metadata is stored, which build systems it integrates with, or what platforms and library conventions are supported. It also does not identify commands. Pkg-config’s documented role is helping compilation workflows find and use library metadata; exact configuration and compatibility depend on the development environment.
