user2702245 saidpkg-config --clibs --flags <package> is good enough to provide linker  and include information.I tried to find out such information about libgoogle-perftools-dev I installed from software center in Ubuntu 12.04.$ pkg-config --libs --cflags libgoogle-perftools-devPackage libgoogle-perftools-dev was not found in the pkg-config search path.Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libgoogle-perftools-dev.pc'to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variableNo package 'libgoogle-perftools-dev' foundNot found for libgoogle-perftools, libgoogle, or perftools either.So I wonder how to find the correct name of libgoogle-perftools-dev so that pkg-config --libs --cflags can return something? Thanks.
pkg-config --libs --cflags not return anything for libgoogle-perftools-dev
