pkgconf is a program which helps to configure compiler and linker flags for development libraries. It is similar to pkg-config from freedesktop.org. libpkgconf is a library which provides access to most of pkgconf's functionality, to allow other tooling such as compilers and IDEs to discover and use libraries configured by pkgconf.
