pkg-config .pc file of components does not list the actual libraries that the component provides
The auto-generated .pc file (in <orocos_install_path>/libs/pkgconfig/* ) of our components (and maybe other types? haven't checked that yet) is missing an entry "Libs:", that would usually list the actual .so files. I.e. it looks like this right now:
...
Version: 1.0
Libs:
...
and should look like this:
...
Version: 1.0
Libs: -L${orocos_libdir} -l<your_component_lib_name>
...
This problem also relates to issue #1 (closed) and #2, since the missing line most likely also causes problems when linking to components inside the topcore package collection.
Ideally, this would be fixed by having it auto-generated correctly somehow. A a last resort, manually adding the line also works (and we will have a fixed number of packages in the end, so it is doable).
Any ideas are appreciated @Maximilian.ernestus
