Which bob packages require pkg-config in their build process?

[Amir Mohammadi]

Hi,

Is there anyway to systematically list which bob packages require pkg-config in their build process?

Thanks,
Amir

$ cd bob.nightlies
$ grep "pkgconfig" `find layers -name "setup.py"`

;-)

Thank you Manuel,

But this will only return:

layers/0/bob.io.base/setup.py:from bob.extension import pkgconfig

layers/0/bob.io.base/setup.py: pkg = pkgconfig('hdf5')

layers/1/bob.io.audio/setup.py:from bob.extension import pkgconfig, find_library

layers/1/bob.io.video/setup.py:from bob.extension import pkgconfig, find_library

layers/1/bob.io.video/setup.py:libavformat_pkg = pkgconfig('libavformat >= 52.31.0')

Are you sure this is correct?

Hmm... you are right. when I have a closer look into bob.extension, I can find that  pkgconfig is an integral part of the package handling in bob:

https://github.com/bioidiap/bob.extension/blob/master/bob/extension/__init__.py#L57

which is called for all packages:

https://github.com/bioidiap/bob.extension/blob/master/bob/extension/__init__.py#L365

Hence, I assume that all bob packages that rely on external (non-bob-, or maybe even bob-) packages use pkg-config.

BTW: @anjos I have seen that there are some old (bob 1-related) checks still inside bob.extension:

https://github.com/bioidiap/bob.extension/blob/master/bob/extension/__init__.py#L382

Can you please verify that this is outdated, i.e., as our bob 2 packages start with "bob." and not with "bob-"?

Thanks

Can't recall if 'bob-' is not used still for pkg-config pkg files. Are they? If not - true, this should be outdated.
