Description
What version of protobuf and what language are you using?
Version: v29.1 (but problem remains on main)
Language: C++
What operating system (Linux, Windows, ...) and version?
windows
What runtime / compiler are you using (e.g., python version or gcc version)
VS2019
What did you do?
Build protobuf, try to use pkg-config metadata in dependent project
What did you expect to see
Build succeeds
What did you see instead?
LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'upb.lib'
This is because the windows builds here have a non-default prefix (e.g. libprotobuf.lib
instead of protobuf.lib
), and so the linker invocation here
Line 9 in 796e49f
is actually looking for the wrong library (upb.lib
instead of the libupb.lib
that gets installed). Since %INSTALL_PREFIX%\lib\pkgconfig\upb.pc
gets installed by default, it should be correct.
Anything else we should know about your project / environment
The error does not appear with CMake, but there's several more pkg-config files that have the same problem AFAICT.
