Added

• Allow disabling passing --cflags to pkg-config (#183).

Changed

• Error output from pkg-config is included in the message again to help with finding the cause (#187)

Fixed

• Suggest installing pkgconf via homebrew on macOS instead of pkg-config (#173)

• Quote failed pkg-config command correctly in error messages to allow for directly copy&pasting it into a shell (#175)

Fixed

• Remove double cargo: prefix from linker line (#168).

Changed

• Update documentation for cross-compilation (#161).

• Update GitHub Action CI (#160).

Fixed

• Detection and usage of Windows static libraries (#154).

• Passing -Wl,-u to the linker if specified in the pkg-config file (#154).

Fixed

• Pass -l:libfoo.a to linker directly (#149).

Changed

• Improve error message when library not found (#158).

Added

• Support falling back to pkgconf if pkg-config is not available (#145).

Changed

• Simplify running pkg-config (#144).

• Document MSRV in Cargo.toml via rust-version.

• Fix a couple of minor clippy warnings (#147).

Added

• Support for handling full paths to libraries in addition to normal -l linker flags (#134).

Added

• Support for parsing -Wl linker arguments from the Libs lines and passing them to the linker as well as making them available via Library::ld_args (#131).

Changed

• Use SPDX license format and remove obsolete badge info (#129).

Fixed

• Re-add target_supported(), which was accidentally removed in 0.3.15 (#128).

Changed

• Improve error messages when a pkg-config package can't be found (#127).

Fixed

• pkg-config compiles again with Rust 1.30 or newer. 0.3.21 accidentally made use of API only available since 1.40 (#124, #125).

Changed

• Switched from Travis to GitHub Actions for the CI. Travis is dysfunctional since quite some time (#126).

Fixed

• Tests succeed again on macOS (#122).

Changed

• Improve error message in case of missing pkg-config and provide instructions how it can be installed (#121).

Fixed

• Use target-specific pkg-config consistently everywhere (#121, #118).

Added

• Add README.md to be displayed on crates.io (#111).

• Support for -isystem, -iquote and -idirafter include flags (#115).

Changed

• Improve documentation for cross-compilation (#113).

• Allow overriding system root via the PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR or SYSROOT environment variable (#82).

Fixed

• Use env::var_os() almost everywhere to handle non-UTF8 paths in environment variables, and also improve error handling around environment variable handling (#106).

Changed

• Default the env_metadata build parameter to true instead of false. Whenever a pkg-config related environment variable changes it would make sense to rebuild crates that use pkg-config, or otherwise changes might not be picked up. As such the previous default didn't make much sense (#105).

Fixed

• Fix support for multiple version number constraints (#95)

Changed

• Stop using deprecated functions and require Rust 1.30 (#84)

Fixed
