+ \ingroup list-of-probes

+ \keyword QML.PkgConfigProbe
+
+ \brief Retrieves the information about installed packages using the pkg-config binary.
+
+ This probe takes the package name or the list of package names as input and returns the
+ information that is required to compile and link using those packages.
+
+ Usually, you can simply use a Depends item as described in
+ \l{How do I build against libraries that provide pkg-config files?}.
+
+ Alternatively, the probe can be used directly as follows:
+
+ \code
+ CppApplication {
+ name: project.name
+ Probes.PkgConfigProbe {
+ id: pkgConfig
+ name: "QtCore"
+ minVersion: '4.0.0'
+ maxVersion: '5.99.99'
+ }
+ files: 'main.cpp'
+ cpp.cxxFlags: pkgConfig.cflags
+ cpp.linkerFlags: pkgConfig.libs
+ }
+ \endcode
