Re: [Freeglut-developer] pkg-config

I'm in favor of pretty much anything that makes the library easier to use
and doesn't otherwise do violence to its expected behavior (and especially
doesn't change the API).

Subject: [Freeglut-developer] pkg-config

Hi,

I'm considering adding a pkg-config file, so that client applications
that use FreeGLUT can use pkg-config to detect it.

I got the idea from the mingw-cross-env project which adds this by
default to their FreeGLUT package.  It can be used under GNU/Linux,
Android and MinGW/MSys/Cygwin, to automatically detect the include and
library paths, as well as the required libraries for static linking
(Libs.private).

The end result would be generated by CMake from a freeglut.pc.in file
and look like this (in this case, for Android):

-----
prefix=/freeglut
libdir=${prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include

Name: glut
Description: A freely licensed and improved alternative to the GLUT library
Version: 3.0.0
Libs: -L${libdir} -lglut
Libs.private: -llog -landroid -lGLESv2 -lEGL
Cflags: -I${includedir}
-----

Are you OK with this?
