Config script

libesmtp-config

The libesmtp-config script was removed with the v1.1.0 release for two reasons, partly because projects that use one of these scripts are rare nowadays, and partly because Meson has a module to generate a correct .pc file for pkg-config automatically. It was felt that a replacement script which covers all Meson use-cases would be difficult to get right.

Nevertheless there are some projects which may benefit from a script pending transition to pkg-config. The simplest approach is to wrap pkg-config with a shell script.

#! /bin/sh
# save this script as libesmtp-config and make it executable
