2022-03-28Add ability to customize pkg-config header and library search pathsBoris Kolpackov1-6/+27
Specifically, {cc,c,cxx}.pkgconfig.{include,lib} variables specify header (-I) and library (-L) search paths to use in the generated .pc files instead of the default install.{include,lib}. Relative paths are resolved as install paths.

2021-09-20Assign pre-defined semantics to config.<project>.develop variablesBoris Kolpackov1-0/+33
This variable allows a project to distinguish between development and consumption builds. While normally there is no distinction between these two modes, sometimes a project may need to provide additional functionality during development. For example, a source code generator which uses its own generated code in its implementation may need to provide a bootstrap step from the pre-generated code. Normally, such a step is only needed during development. See "Project Configuration" in the manual for details.
