Pkg-config is available for most platforms, according to these: <http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/pkg-config> <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pkg-config> I did some checking, and it's in the default repos for these OSes: Ubuntu 10.04 Ubuntu 11.10 Debian 5 Debian 6 CentOS 6 Fedora 16 The same apparently applies for these: FreeBSD[1] OpenBSD[2] NetBSD[3] And it's available for these two, too: MacOS X[4] Windows[5] Nobody expects building to be super-easy on either of these.
