Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler
Hello,
Let's assume a common library for multiple architectures: arm (GCC) and c6x (CGT). Maintainers of the library would like to provide a pkg-config file (pkg-config -- tool to get compile/link flags). pkg-config tool is designed to work natively with gcc-like flags [1]. Unfortunately due to incompatibility between GCC and CGT [2], it is not possible to provide uniform pkg-config file for both architectures, because neither pkg-config will properly return flags, nor other systems that depend on pkg-config behavior (for example cmake-based build systems).
What is your proposed way to solve this incompatibility?
With regards,
Bartek
[1] quote from pkg-config --help:
--libs-only-l output -l flags
--libs-only-other output other libs (e.g.
-pthread)
--libs-only-L output -L flags
--cflags output all pre-processor and
compiler flags
--cflags-only-I output -I flags
--cflags-only-other output cflags not covered by
[2] See below table for incompatible flags that matters for this report:
| GCC | CGT | comments |
| -L<path> | -i=<path> | library search path |
| -l<name> | -l<fullname> |
link against a library/archive/shared object; GCC guess library name (either lib<name>.so or lib<name>.a) |
