[PATCH 1/1] selftests: gpio: use pkg-config to determine libmount CFLAGS/LDLIBS

[Fathi Boudra]

Fix hardcoded and misplaced libmount headers. Use pkg-config instead to
figure out CFLAGS/LDLIBS, fixing also their value for cross-compilation.

If pkg-config isn't installed, it gives an error (command not found) and
gpio test will fail to build because it won't be able to find the headers
or link to libmount library.

Can you explain how it fixes the values for cross-compilation?

cheers

When pkg-config is invoked in a cross-build environment, it will
return your sysroot headers path instead of the hardcoded
-I/usr/include/libmount

For example in my oe environment, when I invoke "pkg-config --cflags
mount", it returns:
-I/build/tmp-rpb-glibc/sysroots/hikey/usr/include/libmount

I suppose we could also pass the extra CFLAGS and LDFLAGS directly to
make it work. correct?

or use the appropriate tool for getting CFLAGS/LDFLAGS instead of:
1. hardcoding it and potentially get them wrong
2. expecting the user will have to take extra steps, while he can just run make

Right, presumably because OE is setting PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR etc.

So for folks doing it by hand it doesn't really help with cross
compiling, but I guess it doesn't hurt either.

Sure. But by using the "appropriate tool" you create a new dependency on
that tool.

For folks building natively it's probably not a big deal, they probably
already have pkg-config installed, but for cross building it's another
thing to get working.

Currently most of the selftests build, and cross-build, with nothing but
a C compiler and libc, and we should try to maintain that as much as
possible.

cheers

As you said, most of selftests build. There's a precedent. memfd test
is also using pkg-config. That's why I followed similar approach.
