Details
Using jsoncpp 0.6.0rc2-1, no .pc file are deployed by the
package, even though it seems to be deployed by the project
(https://github.com/open-source-parsers/jsoncpp/tree/master/pkg-config).
This is problematic because the headers are copied in a custom Archlinux specific directory (a "jsoncpp" directory), so the official way of including the header (#include <json/json.h> according to https://github.com/open-source-parsers/jsoncpp#using-jsoncpp-in-your-project) doesn't work. pkg-config --cflags jsoncpp should raise -I/usr/include/jsoncpp, or simply make the headers deployed in the standard location (though, a "json" directory kind of sucks). A pkg-config would be extremely welcome anyway. |

Headee location isn't archlinux specific, just the default as shipped from upstream release.
install -d "${pkgdir}"/usr/include/jsoncpp
cp -r include/json "${pkgdir}"/usr/include/jsoncpp/json
This path looks very archlinux specific to me.
But indeed, pkg-config support was added only recently.
# grep include /usr/lib/pkgconfig/jsoncpp.pc
includedir=${prefix}/include/jsoncpp
Cflags: -I${includedir}
I have no other distribution to compare with, but they probably do something very similar.
