PkgConfig provides a pure-perl, core-only replacement for the pkg-config utility. This is not a description of the uses of pkg-config but rather a description of the differences between the C version and the Perl one. While pkg-config is a compiled binary linked with glib, the pure-perl version has no such requirement, and will run wherever Perl ( >= 5.6 ) does. The main supported options are the common --libs, --cflags, --static, --exists and --modversion.
Binary packages can be installed with pkgin or pkg_add(1). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
Problem reports, updates or suggestions for this package should be reported with send-pr.
