This is a port of pkg-config 0.23 to MSDOS/DJGPP.

  The pkg-config program is used to retrieve information about installed
  libraries in the system.  It is typically used to compile and to link
  against one or more libraries.



1.:     DJGPP specific changes.
        =======================

      - This port has been configured to be build in the "0build" directory.
      - The port has been configured and compiled on WinXP SP3, Win98SE and
        MSDOS 6.22 and DOSLFN v0.41f.  There is absolute no guarantee that
        this may be possible with any other DOS-like OS.  Due to the use of
        long file names it will not be possible to configure and compile
        without LFN support.
      - The port honours the PATH_SEPARATOR environment variable to select
        the path separator to be used.  If no one is given it defaults to
        semi-colon as seprator.
      - The port has been configured to be used as a tool in the DJGPP
        enviroment, thus all internal path assumptions are done based on the
        value of the DJDIR environment variable.  If it is not set, the tool
        will not work properly.  If you want to use the program as a stand
        alone then you will have to set all controling environment variables
        to the appropriate values.

        As usual, all djgpp specific files (config.bat, diffs, readme files,
        etc.) are located in the djgpp subdir.

        For further information about pkg-config please read the man page and NEWS file.


2.:     Installing the binary package.
        ==============================

2.1.:   Copy the binary distribution into the top DJGPP installation directory
        and unzip it running *ONE* of the following commands:
          unzip32 pkc023b.zip      or
          djtarx pkc023b.zip       or
          pkunzip -d pkc023b.zip


3.:     Building the binaries from sources.
        ===================================

3.1.:   Create a temporary directory and copy the source package into the
        directory.  If you download the source distribution from one of the
        DJGPP sites, just unzip it preserving the directory structure
        running *ONE* of the following commands:
          unzip32 pkc023s.zip      or
          djtarx pkc023s.zip       or
          pkunzip -d pkc023s.zip

3.2.:   To build the binaries you will need the following binary packages:
          djdev205.zip (or a later but NOT a prior version)
          bsh4253b.zip (or a later but NOT a prior version)
          gccNNNb.zip, bnuNNNb.zip, makNNNb.zip, filNNNb.zip, shlNNNb.zip,
          txtNNNb.zip, txiNNNb.zip, grepNNNb.zip, sedNNNb.zip, mktmpNNb.zip
          and difNNNb.zip.

        NNN represents the latest version number of the binary packages.  All
        this packages can be found in the /v2gnu directory of any
        ftp.delorie.com mirror.
        You will need bsh4253b.zip or later and *NOT* a prior version or the
        build will fail.  The same applies to djdev205.zip.

3.3.:   The package has been configured to be build in a separate build directory
        under the top srcdir (aka pkg-config-0.23).  To build the binaries cd
        into "0build" directory.  If for some reason you want to reconfigure the
        package cd into the build directory and run the following commands:
          del config.cache
          make clean
          ..\djgpp\config ./..

        Please note that you _must_ delete the config.cache file in the "0build"
        directory or you will not really reconfigure the sources because the
        configuration informations will be read from the cache file instead
        of being newly computed.

        config.bat, among other things, will start the configure script passing
        to it a couple of arguments.  You can control these argument passing the
        following command line arguments to config.bat:
          cache or no-cache, default cache.  Cache in build directory.
          dep or no-dep, default no-dep.  No dependency tracking.
          silent or no-silent, default silent.  Controls the verbosity of the
                                                build process.
          threads or no-threads, default no-threads.  MT support disabled.
          inddep or no-inddep, default inddep.  Enable list private dependencies.
        All other configure specific options are not set by config.bat so their
        values are left as they are.  If no arguments are passed to config.bat
        then the default values are used.

        To build the programs in a directory other than where the sources are,
        you must add the parameter that specifies the source directory,
        e.g:
          x:\src\contrib\pkg-config-0.23\djgpp\config x:/src/contrib/pkg-config-0.23

        Lets assume you want to build the binaries in a directory placed on a
        different drive (z:\build in this case) from where the sources are,
        then you will run the following commands:
          z:
          md \build
          cd \build
          x:\src\contrib\pkg-config-0.23\djgpp\config x:/src/contrib/pkg-config-0.23

        The order of the options and the srcdir option does not matter.  You
        _must_ use forward slashes to specify the source directory.

        The batch file will set same environment variables, make MSDOS specific
        modifications to the Makefile.in's and supply all other needed options
        to the configure script.

3.4.:   To compile the package run from the directory where you have configured
        the sources the command:
          make

3.5.:   Now you can run the tests if you like. From the directory where you have
        configured the sources run the command:
          make check

3.6.:   To install the binary, info docs and man pages run the following command
        from the directory where you have configured the sources:
          make install

        This will install the products into your DJGPP installation tree given
        by the default prefix "/dev/env/DJDIR".  If you prefer to install them
        into some other directory you will have to set prefix to the appropriate
        value:
          make install prefix=z:/some/other/place
