NAME
       Alien::Build::Plugin::PkgConfig::Negotiate - Package configuration
       negotiation plugin

VERSION
       version 2.80

SYNOPSIS
        use alienfile;
        plugin 'PkgConfig' => (

        );

DESCRIPTION
       This plugin provides Probe and Gather steps for pkg-config based
       packages.  It picks the best "PkgConfig" plugin depending your platform
       and environment.

PROPERTIES
   pkg_name
       The package name.  If this is a list reference then .pc files with all
       those package names must be present.  The first name will be the
       primary and used by default once installed.  For the subsequent ".pc"
       files you can use the Alien::Base alt method to retrieve the alternate
       configurations once the Alien is installed.

   atleast_version
       The minimum required version that is acceptable version as provided by
       the system.

   exact_version
       The exact required version that is acceptable version as provided by
       the system.

   max_version
       The max required version that is acceptable version as provided by the
       system.

   minimum_version
       Alias for "atleast_version" for backward compatibility.

METHODS
   pick
        my $name = Alien::Build::Plugin::PkgConfig::Negotiate->pick;

       Returns the name of the negotiated plugin.

ENVIRONMENT
       ALIEN_BUILD_PKG_CONFIG
           If set, this plugin will be used instead of the build in logic
           which attempts to automatically pick the best plugin.
