Placing pkg-config.exe file to this git if possible #130

Open imxood opened 2 years ago

imxood commented 2 years ago

For windows system, is it possible to put a pkg-config.exe file on this git? When building on windows, you can select the exe file to use according to the environment variable PKG_CONFIG, if there is no such environment variable, use the exe placed on git ? No need for users to find this program by themselves, and the exe file is not big

Probably better to build/install as needed, as #103 suggest. Other option would be to reimplement pkg-config in rust and drop the need for an extra executable ;)

I have another idea: compile the pkgconf library (different from pkg-config!) with the cc crate, create Rust bindings for it, and use those in this crate. That would make it simple to use this crate reliably across platforms.
