缘起
在某些FindXXX.cmake模块中经常出现下面这两条命令：
find_package(PkgConfig QUIET)
pkg_check_modules(PC_GLIB2 QUIET glib-2.0)
主要在一些第三方库没有提供CMake模块，只提供了pkg-config的配置，需要开发者自己开发CMake模块。 本文详细介绍这两条命令的含义。
搜索pkg-config
cmake_minimum_required(3.18)
project(proj1)
find_package(PkgConfig QUIET)
message(STATUS "PKG_CONFIG_FOUND:${PKG_CONFIG_FOUND}")
message(STATUS "PKG_CONFIG_VERSION_STRING:${PKG_CONFIG_VERSION_STRING}")
message(STATUS "PKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE:${PKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE}")
message(STATUS "PKG_CONFIG_ARGN:${PKG_CONFIG_ARGN}")
输出
-- PKG_CONFIG_FOUND:TRUE
-- PKG_CONFIG_VERSION_STRING:0.29.2
-- PKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE:/usr/bin/pkg-config
-- PKG_CONFIG_ARGN:
find_package(PkgConfig) 找到CMake模块： /usr/share/cmake-3.18/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake 并执行。 该模块主要搜索pkg-config可执行程序的位置，并定义了三个宏： - pkg_get_variable - pkg_check_modules - pkg_search_module
宏pkg_check_modules
使用pkg_check_modules查找一个模块
pkg_check_modules(PC_GLIB2 QUIET glib-2.0)
message(STATUS "PC_GLIB2_FOUND:${PC_GLIB2_FOUND}")
message(STATUS "PC_GLIB2_LIBRARIES:${PC_GLIB2_LIBRARIES}")
message(STATUS "PC_GLIB2_LINK_LIBRARIES:${PC_GLIB2_LINK_LIBRARIES}")
message(STATUS "PC_GLIB2_LIBRARY_DIRS:${PC_GLIB2_LIBRARY_DIRS}")
message(STATUS "PC_GLIB2_LDFLAGS:${PC_GLIB2_LDFLAGS}")
message(STATUS "PC_GLIB2_LDFLAGS_OTHER:${PC_GLIB2_LDFLAGS_OTHER}")
message(STATUS "PC_GLIB2_INCLUDE_DIRS:${PC_GLIB2_INCLUDE_DIRS}")
message(STATUS "PC_GLIB2_CFLAGS:${PC_GLIB2_CFLAGS}")
message(STATUS "PC_GLIB2_CFLAGS_OTHER:${PC_GLIB2_CFLAGS_OTHER}")
message(STATUS "PC_GLIB2_INCLUDEDIR:${PC_GLIB2_INCLUDEDIR}")
message(STATUS "PC_GLIB2_LIBDIR:${PC_GLIB2_LIBDIR}")
输出
-- PC_GLIB2_FOUND:1

-- PC_GLIB2_LINK_LIBRARIES:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so
