pkg-config and GPRBuild

pkg-config and GPRBuild

[Brian Kolden]

Hello,

I am using openCV for a project and I migrated from make to gprbuild because I am more familiar with it. However, the common method of compiling and linking while using openCV uses a call like "g++ -o test_1 test_1.cpp `pkg-config opencv --cflags --libs`". I could figure out how to do the `pkg-config opencv --cflags --libs` call in gprbuild and resorted to hard coding all the library flags into the .gpr file.gprcl

However, the common method of compiling and linking while using openCV uses a call like "g++ -o test_1 test_1.cpp `pkg-config opencv --cflags --libs`". I could not figure out how to do the `pkg-config opencv --cflags --libs` call in gprbuild and resorted to hard coding all the library flags into the .gpr file. 

Does anyone have any suggestions, because I would really prefer to be able to use pkg-config.

Thanks,

Brian

I assume you are looking for additional linker flags? You can pass them 
to gprbuild. It would something like:

    gprbuild ... -largs `pkg-config opencv --libs`

A better method is to create a binary library project opencv.gpr and use 
it in your project. Usually for such projects gprguild figures all flags 
without need to resort to pkg-config.
