The tectonic_dep_support crate

This crate is part of the Tectonic project. It provides build-time utilities for finding external library dependencies, allowing either pkg-config or vcpkg to be used as the dep-finding backend, and providing whatever fiddly features are needed to enable the Tectonic build process.

• API documentation.
• Main Git repository.

lib.rs:

Support for locating third-party libraries (“dependencies”) when building Tectonic. The main point of interest is that both pkg-config and vcpkg are supported as dep-finding backends. This crate does not deal with the choice of whether to provide a library externally or through vendoring.
