Strawberry perl installation includes pkg-config which interferes with other stuff

phadej commented 2 weeks ago

Description

The /c/Strawberry/perl/bin is apparently in PATH, and that path contains pkg-config; so every tool which relies on existence of pkg-config picks that.

What makes it worse, apparently, that pkg-config database contains PostgreSQL client library, libpq; which is quite old (11.3), so new stuff just doesnt' work.

Is it regression?

Maybe

Expected behavior

I would expect no pkg-config in PATH; it's not a thing on Windows. Or if there were one, than the one by the MSYS installation.

Actual behavior

There is an arbitrary pkg-config in PATH.

Repro steps

  steps:
      - name: which pkg-config
        run: which pkg-config

prints /c/Strawberry/perl/bin/pkg-config
