It extends colcon-core, the foundation of the colcon build orchestration tool, by automating the setup of library search paths during builds.\n\nThe package is intended for developers working with colcon-based build workflows who need to manage shared library discovery across different platforms (POSIX, Windows, MacOS). It is a small, lightweight extension with minimal dependencies and low install friction, but it has not been actively maintained since its latest release on 2019-01-16, making its compatibility with modern colcon versions uncertain.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are actively using colcon and need environment-variable control over library discovery paths. No, if your colcon version is recent and you have not encountered library-path issues\u2014the dormant maintenance status suggests potential compatibility gaps. Verify compatibility with your colcon-core version before installing."},"id":"colcon-library-path","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/colcon-library-path","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/colcon-library-path.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/colcon-library-path/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2019-01-16","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"colcon-library-path","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Extension for colcon adding an environment variable to find libraries."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":196169,"position":9795,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2.1"}
