[Chicken-hackers] pkg-config support in chicken-install

[Lassi Kortela]

Hi,

Anybody up for hashing out a design for built-in pkg-config support in 
the egg infrastructure?

I suggested this on Tuesday on the chicken-users list but didn't yet get 
any feedback. Preliminary thoughts at the bottom of this mail: 
<https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/chicken-users/2019-07/msg00029.html>. 
Vasilij Schneidermann was involved in the discussion and suggested we 
work on the openssl egg's install script, which led me to explore this 
problem, but it seems a more generic pkg-config solution could be fruitful.

If the Chicken maintainers are interested in exploring this, I have some 
ideas for the details (not anything implemented and proven, just ideas 
for starters).

Kind regards,
lassi from chicken-users, srfi-discuss, etc.
