+pkg-config Support
+==================
+
+The pkg-config program is used to retrieve information about your installed libraries, and
+to compile and link against one or more libraries.
+
+Use pkg-config with |onedpl_short|
+----------------------------------
+
+Use pkg-config with the ``--cflags`` flag to get the include path to the oneDPL directory:
+
+.. code:: cpp
+
+  dpcpp test.cpp $(pkg-config --cflags dpl)
+  
+The ``--msvc-syntax`` flag is required when you use a Microsoft Visual C++* compiler.
+This flag converts your compiling and linking flags to the appropriate form:
+
+.. code:: cpp
+
+  dpcpp test.cpp $(pkg-config --msvc-syntax --cflags dpl)
+
+.. note::
+  Use the pkg-config tool to get rid of large hard-coded paths and make compilation more portable.
+
