Currently the pkg-config file is missing, so the lib won't be found by some build-systems.
This task depends upon

And the pkg-config file comes from where? This is something that needs to be dealt with upstream.

I'm not sure if upstream has one. But in the meantime, we could just use this one:


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
prefix=/usr
libdir=${prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include/jsoncpp

version = 0.5.0

name = jsoncpp
pkgname = jsoncpp

Name: ${name}
Version: ${version}
Description: Jsoncpp library version 0.5.0
Cflags: -I${includedir}
Libs: -L${libdir} -ljsoncpp
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Which is exactly my point. Offer it to them. Siloing the pkg-config file in Arch does nothing for portability (which is the whole point of pkg-config).
