can I use shell in toolchain.ini?

I use --cross-file toolchain.ini.
Can I use shell substitutions in that
file to evaluate paths with pkg-config?

No, machine files do not allow shell evaluation. They do have a some basic concatenation, math, and interpolation abilities, but nothing like a turing completely shell language. If you really need that you'll need to approach it the other way and generate the toolchain file from a script and then consume that.

Thanks, generating works.
Hope in the future the shell substitutions
will be supported.
