+[![Build Status](https://github.com/rust-lang/pkg-config-rs/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/rust-lang/pkg-config-rs/actions)
+[![Rust](https://img.shields.io/badge/rust-1.30%2B-blue.svg?maxAge=3600)](https://github.com/rust-lang/pkg-config-rs/)
+
+[Documentation](https://docs.rs/pkg-config)
+
+A simple library meant to be used as a build dependency with Cargo packages in
+order to use the system `pkg-config` tool (if available) to determine where a
+library is located.
+
+You can use this crate directly to probe for specific libraries, or use
+[system-deps](https://github.com/gdesmott/system-deps) to declare all your
+`pkg-config` dependencies in `Cargo.toml`.
+
+This library requires Rust 1.30+.
+
+# Example
+
+Find the system library named `foo`, with minimum version 1.2.3:
+
+```rust
+extern crate pkg_config;
+
+fn main() {
+ pkg_config::Config::new().atleast_version("1.2.3").probe("foo").unwrap();
+}
+```
+
+Find the system library named `foo`, with no version requirement (not
+recommended):
+
+```rust
+extern crate pkg_config;
+
+fn main() {
+ pkg_config::probe_library("foo").unwrap();
+}
+```
+
+# External configuration via target-scoped environment variables
+
+In cross-compilation context, it is useful to manage separately `PKG_CONFIG_PATH`
+and a few other variables for the `host` and the `target` platform.
+
+The supported variables are: `PKG_CONFIG_PATH`, `PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR`, and
+`PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR`.
+
+Each of these variables can also be supplied with certain prefixes and suffixes, in the following prioritized order:
+
+1. `<var>_<target>` - for example, `PKG_CONFIG_PATH_x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu`
+2. `<var>_<target_with_underscores>` - for example, `PKG_CONFIG_PATH_x86_64_unknown_linux_gnu`
+3. `<build-kind>_<var>` - for example, `HOST_PKG_CONFIG_PATH` or `TARGET_PKG_CONFIG_PATH`
+4. `<var>` - a plain `PKG_CONFIG_PATH`
+
+This crate will allow `pkg-config` to be used in cross-compilation
+if `PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR` or `PKG_CONFIG` is set. You can set `PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_CROSS=1`
+to bypass the compatibility check, but please note that enabling use of `pkg-config` in
+cross-compilation without appropriate sysroot and search paths set is likely to break builds.
+
+Some Rust sys crates support building vendored libraries from source, which may be a work
+around for lack of cross-compilation support in `pkg-config`.
