Building against libshcodecs

Using GNU autoconf

If you are using GNU autoconf, you do not need to call pkg-config directly. Use the following macro to determine if libshcodecs is available:

 PKG_CHECK_MODULES(SHCODECS, shcodecs >= 0.5.0,
                   HAVE_SHCODECS="yes", HAVE_SHCODECS="no")
 if test "x$HAVE_SHCODECS" = "xyes" ; then
   AC_SUBST(SHCODECS_CFLAGS)
   AC_SUBST(SHCODECS_LIBS)
 fi
 

If libshcodecs is found, HAVE_SHCODECS will be set to "yes", and the autoconf variables SHCODECS_CFLAGS and SHCODECS_LIBS will be set appropriately.

Determining compiler options with pkg-config

If you are not using GNU autoconf in your project, you can use the pkg-config tool directly to determine the correct compiler options.

 SHCODECS_CFLAGS=`pkg-config --cflags shcodecs`

 SHCODECS_LIBS=`pkg-config --libs shcodecs`
