Generate libdispatch.pc on non-apple platforms #801

Open hmelder opened 11 months ago

libdispatch should install a pkg-config file as it is the defacto standard querying mechanism on Linux, and other platforms (excluding Apple).

I'm not sure how I feel about this. We should instead just provide a DispatchConfig.cmake instead I think.

I will look into that!

Do you mean a Configuration in cmake/config? Should I write a cmake function or just extract the existing generation of the pkg config file?

No, CMake has its own means of providing the configuration for the project. Look at the CMake documentation related to FindPackage.
