Hi all, I have recipe A that builds a cmake project which, among other dependencies, also has "find_package(pkgconfig)", so, I inherited the pkgconfig class in the recipe. This cmake project is used by other projects since it builds a .so, thus I am also exporting the AConfig.cmake file, which contains the "find_package(pkgconfig)" call. This works well, the project is built and the pkg-config binary is in recipe-sysroot-native (as expected).
Recipe B builds another cmake project, which depends on the cmake project A. Thus, I added recipe A to recipe B's DEPENDS. As expected, this nicely copies everything needed from recipe A (the .so file, the headers, the AConfig.cmake and ATargets.cmake, etc.). However, (expectedly?) it does not copy the pkg-config binary along with it, thus building recipe B fails, because the "find_package(pkgconfig)" call from the AConfig.cmake file fails. Is the above usage of PkgConfig correct? I understand the pkg-config binary from recipe A's recipe-sysroot-native should not be copied to recipe B's recipe-sysroot-native, but still don't understand how this all is supposed to work. Shouldn't all dependencies from recipe A also be available for recipe B? It goes without saying, when I inherit the pkgconfig class in recipe B, everything works as expected (because the pkg-config binary is found in recipe-sysroot-native of recipe B), but this is also not correct, as recipe B does not really depend on pkgconfig and shouldn't even know about it. Cheers, Aleksandar [1] Could NOT find PkgConfig (missing: PKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE)
