Introduction

pkg-config is a helper tool used when compiling applications and libraries. It helps you insert the correct compiler options on the command line so an application can use gcc -o test test.c pkg-config --libs --cflags glib-2.0 for instance, rather than hard-coding values on where to find glib (or other libraries).

pkg-config is available using the command:

module load pkg-config
