Provide pkgconfig via the CMake toolchain file on Windows #17481
Labels
category:vcpkg-feature
The issue is a new capability of the tool that doesn’t already exist and we haven’t committed
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The Windows experience would be much nicer if vcpkg CMake toolchain file provided pkgconfig and set
PKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE
.Proposed solution
Set PKG_CONFIG CMake variables in the CMake toolchain file.
Additional context
Currently users have to work around this by downloading and building pkgconfig themselves.
Internally, vcpkg already seems to have much of what would be needed to support it.
