pkgconf is a program which helps to configure compiler and linker flags for development frameworks. It is similar to pkg-config from freedesktop.org and handles .pc files in a similar manner as pkg-config.

* Fri Oct 03 2025 Dominique Leuenberger <dimstar@opensuse.org>
- Update to version 2.5.1:
+ Fix processing of empty dependency lists.
- Changes from version 2.5.0:
+ Added a manual page for bomtool.
+ Add support for preloaded packages.
+ Refactor Windows registry PKG_CONFIG_PATH support so that it
augments the main directory search list instead of being
treated as a special case.
+ Processing of `--with-path` arguments by the pkgconf CLI is
now deferred until libpkgconf is fully initialized, effectively
aligning behavior with PKG_CONFIG_PATH processing.
+ Fix several minor memory safety bugs which were identified by
the GCC 15 static analyzer.
+ Added support for pledge(2) and unveil(2) on systems where
this functionality is available.
+ Significant improvements to pkgconf's manual pages.
+ Remove questionable default-static assumption on Windows that
was inherited from the original pkg-config. Most distributions
of pkgconf on Windows were already patching this out.
+ Add -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200809L to the build definitions, which
is needed for readlinkat on glibc.
- Changes from version 2.4.3:
+ Fix additional logic errors relating to the new fragment trees
functionality.
- Changes from version 2.4.2:
+ Fix several logic errors in the pkg-config file parser that
were surfaced by recent refactoring work.
+ Fix BSD make compatibility so that it generates the test data
before running kyua on BSD make implementations.
- Changes from version 2.4.1:
+ Ensure the full DAG is solved for all query types.
- Changes from version 2.4.0:
+ Allow multiple package names in solution-based queries such as
`--print-requires`, `--print-requires-private` and
`--print-provides`.
+ Use `_DEFAULT_SOURCE` where appropriate on Meson.
+ Add an abstract buffer type and use it when loading files from
disk instead of a 64KB buffer. This ensures large pkg-config
files are not truncated.
+ Disable graph recursion in `--variable` queries as it was
generating duplicate output.
+ Add infrastructure for tracking fragment group relations and
convert storage of fragments to use a tree-like structure
instead of string concatenation.
+ Add support for tracking linker groups, e.g.
- Wl,--start-group -la -lb -lc -Wl,--end-group
as fragment groups.
+ Properly contextualize the sysroot directory when processing
package information, ensuring packages where ${pc_sysrootdir}
does not match the default are properly processed.
- Changes from version 2.3.0:
+ Fix compile with Meson on Solaris by defining __EXTENSIONS__.
+ Add support for the PKG_CONFIG_RELOCATE_PATHS environmental
variable. When set, the program will act as if --define-prefix
is always enabled.
+ Color solution nodes that were part of the original query, and
use that coloring to skip over dependencies when generating
DocumentNames in bomtool.
+ Enhance --env option to support variables with both
- -variable=varname and --print-variables.
+ Add --exists-cflags option which creates synthetic preprocessor
definition flags for every queried dependency when found.
+ Document that Requires.private is always used for header paths.
+ Fix minor documentation typos.
+ Ensure string comparisons using <ctype.h> functions are done
with unsigned bytes to avoid undefined behavior.
+ Fix parsing edge-case bugs with dependency versions.
+ Change PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG autoconf macro to add a customizable
failure handler if pkg-config is not found.
* Sat May 25 2024 Andreas Stieger <andreas.stieger@gmx.de>
- update to 2.2.0:
* Significant solver rework to flatten both requires and
requires.private dependencies in a single pass. Improves
performance slightly and ensures proper dependency order.
* Improve --digraph output to reflect more of the solver's state
in the rendered dependency graph.
* Do not reference the graph root by name when presenting error
messages about directly requested dependency nodes.
* Mon Feb 12 2024 Andreas Stieger <andreas.stieger@gmx.de>
- update to 2.1.1:
* Fix --modversion with constraints
* Reintroduce an optimization to the dependency graph walker
which avoids revisiting already visited nodes
* Add a regression test to check that the dependency flattener is
working as expected
* Mon Dec 18 2023 Andreas Stieger <andreas.stieger@gmx.de>
- update to 2.1.0:
* new solver for higher performance with complicated graphs
* Add --license selector to the pkgconf CLI
* Add flag --verbose and --solution to CLI
* Changes and fixes to --modversion
* bug fixes and developer visible changes
- drop pkgconf-CVE-2023-24056.patch, now included
* Sun Jan 29 2023 Cliff Zhao <qzhao@suse.com>
- Add pkgconf-CVE-2023-24056.patch: Backport commit 628b2b2baf from
upstream, test for, and stop string processing, on truncation
(bsc#1207394 CVE-2023-24056).
* Mon Aug 23 2021 Callum Farmer <gmbr3@opensuse.org>
- Update to version 1.8.0:
+ Fix a minor memory leak relating to cross-personalities
+ Fix some edge cases with --redefine-prefix
+ Do not prepend sysroot_dir if the .pc file does not exist
in the sysroot
+ Do not perform path filtering on default system include
and library path lists.
* Wed Jun 30 2021 Callum Farmer <gmbr3@opensuse.org>
- Update to 1.7.4
+ Add PKG_CONFIG_DONT_DEFINE_PREFIX environment variable
+ Handle platforms where realpath(3) requires a pre-allocated
buffer
+ Fix null-dereference crash when pulling a malformed
'uninstalled' .pc file into a dependency tree.
* Wed Apr 07 2021 Dirk Müller <dmueller@suse.com>
- do not own directories provided by filesystem
- small cleanups inspired by spec-cleaner
* Mon Aug 10 2020 Neal Gompa <ngompa13@gmail.com>
- Add /usr/local paths to pkg-config(1) search path for non RPM builds (boo#1175039)
* Mon Jun 15 2020 Callum Farmer <callumjfarmer13@gmail.com>
- Update to 1.7.3

+ Fix out of boundary reads and writes with a malformed fragment.
Patches by Tobias Stöckmann.
+ Fix a possible out of boundary write when evaluating tuples.
Patch by Tobias Stöckmann.

fragment merging semantics has been added.
