pkgconfig

Comment:

I would like to put in a request for installed pkgconfig files for the installed mumps. I don't imagine that the source code generates anything, but you could create some simple files for the libraries installed during the conda-forge building steps. As a simple example:

prefix= <-WRITE $PREFIX TO HERE DURING BUILD
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${prefix}/lib
sharedlibdir=${libdir}
includedir=${prefix}/include

Name: dmumps_seq
Description: The sequential double MUMPS library
Version: <- WRITE THE VERSION STRING TO HERE DURING BUILD
Cflags: -I${includedir}
Libs: -L${libdir} -ldmumps_seq

I also do not know what this would correspond to on windows machines.

👍 from me. This wouldn't help if the library is provided not via conda-forge, but would greatly simplify conda-forge-based linking. I've given a shot to write a wrapper that uses meson-python for builds , and my solution so far is not pretty.

@akhmerov I added these in #109. Could you check if they would work for you? I did them for the regular mumps libs, but not mumps_common or pord (it's unclear to me if users need to link those libs directly, since they are linked from the public-facing mumps libs).
