+# Desktop packages for binder development
+
+Packages of the ***binder*** (afb-daemon)exist
+for common desktop linux distributions.
+
+- Fedora
+- Ubuntu
+- Debian
+- Suse
+
+Installing the development package of the ***binder***
+allows to write ***bindings*** that runs on the desktop
+computer of the developer.
+
+It is very convenient to quickly write and debug a binding.
+
+## Retrieving compiling option with pkg-config
+
+The ***binder*** afb-daemon provides a configuration
+file for **pkg-config**.
+Typing the command
+
+```bash
+pkg-config --cflags afb-daemon
+```
+
+Print flags use for compilation:
+
+```bash
+$ pkg-config --cflags afb-daemon
+-I/opt/local/include -I/usr/include/json-c
+```
+
+For linking, you should use
+
+```bash
+$ pkg-config --libs afb-daemon
+-ljson-c
+```
+
+It automatically includes the dependency to json-c.
+This is activated through **Requires** keyword in pkg-config.
