So, you have no real knowledge of pkg_config it has options to output compiler flags that might be needed!
In the compiler extra settings area.

I have some knowledge about pkg_config and there is no need to be so snippy about it.
( Read the rules before you post )
If I had 100% would I ask for help?
The question still remain - how to add these "flags" to GCC compiler.
Can you post an example ?
Thanks

Is my previous post hidden for you ?
I quotee it here:
--- Quote from: jens on November 22, 2016, 06:08:08 pm ---Just add the "pkg-config" line to the other linker (and probably compiler)-options, just as you do it on the command-line, but surround it with backticks ("`"), e.g.
--- Code: ---`pkg-config glib-2.0 --libs`
--- End code ---
--- End quote ---
Or what do you mean with example ?

FYI: You are on the Internet; it has search engines!

Learn to use them. I use https://www.google.com
You really need to learn about your OS Operating System and the tools in it!
You are appearing to be a troll to me. I do NOT feed trolls.

JulyJim:
Tim, you could be more helpful but I really expect way to much from forums.
Obviously situation normal - it is my fault I dare to ask here,
I have made some progress but still cannot get the pkg-config to link the libraries it finds to linker.
Just to clear things up - the question was not HOW to MAKE packages - the question was how to add them to the linker.
My GCC linker won't link if the library string is not prefixed with ":" so maybe pkg-config is wrong app to use,
