✨ NAME ✨

Alien::Build::Plugin::PkgConfig::MakeStatic β€” ok bestie, this little icon's whole job is turning .pc files into static ones. That's the tea. πŸ«–

(also hi, this page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, and the header up top calls it Alien::...keStatic(3) because even man pages get their names shortened for the group chat πŸ’…)

πŸŽ€ VERSION πŸŽ€

This is version 2.88. slay.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Here's how you actually use it, no cap:

use alienfile;

plugin 'PkgConfig::MakeStatic' => (
  path => 'lib/pkgconfig/foo.pc',
);

that's it, that's the whole vibe ✨

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

So what it does is take a .pc file and convert it so it uses static linkage by default. cute, right?

⚠️ okay but listen β€” this is an experimental plugin, so use with caution. like, it's giving "I'm not like other plugins" and you should respect that. 🫢

πŸ’– PROPERTIES πŸ’–

path

The path to the .pc file. πŸ“

And here's the lil detail everyone skips: if you don't provide it, then all .pc files in the stage directory get converted. every single one. the whole roster. πŸ‘‘
