Add support for pkg-config files

Open t00sa opened this issue 6 months ago • 3 comments

The package config files used pkg-config provide an easy method to pick up compile and link flags for third party libraries, especially when installed in non-standard locations. It would be useful if fab could make use of existing .pc files.

This is being prototyped in the LFRic build system. See ticket #4641.

We will discuss this with @hiker to decide whether this should be promoted from LFRic into fab.
