A script generating pkg-config files.
WARNING: CMake is currently merging own built-in pkgconfig generation implementation!
If you require such a new version of CMake, you probably should use the built-in impl instead.

For
OBJECT
targets we have run into big issues. CMake- Doesn't allow to get the list of object files at configure time
- Allows to get a list of object files as a generator exression ...
- BUT ... the path to them is full, but we need only file name!
- CMake doesn't allow to strip directory path via generator expression
- ... neither it allows string editing within generator expressions ...
so ... we have to create a custom target using a custom CMake script executed separately, but ...
-
file(GENERATE
doesn't properly register dependencies ... so we have to useadd_custom_command
to say CMake that these files are generated -
And CMake
install(FILES
doesn't mean that the targets generating these files are automatically executed,
So we have to use
ALL
inadd_custom_target
.
