Details

Description:
The package doesn't ship a .pc file for pkg-config

Additional info:
* package version(s): 4.0-2

The Makefile shipped by upstream doesn't support installs at all, so the installation procedure has been added by Arch which is why I am reporting this here and not upstream.

I suggest to include a .pc file in order to make the library easy to include into autoconf/automake projects. For a project I have written one myself, and attached it here. A direct inclusion into the package should require no changes.
   iniparser.pc (0.2 KiB)
This task depends upon

I don't see any reason to include a .pc file if the file isn't integrated on every distro that packages iniparser. Adding the .pc file creates an arch-specific way of detecting iniparser on a system.

A pkg-config file was added to the project in 2018 but this package does not install it. https://github.com/ndevilla/iniparser/blob/master/iniparser.pc

Maybe we should also use the upstream Makefile that was introduced 2010...

We use the Makefile to build, but it does not provide an install target. Or did I miss anything?

> it would be nice to have a basic iniparser.pc in the repository to be able to use iniparser in specific build systems (e.g. Buildroot). I know that this PR will not work for everyone, and that, according to FAQ, some proposals for more advanced integrations has already been rejected, so what is your opinion on the question (since this request would not change the main Makefile) ?

Apparently the pkg-config file got accepted specifically because it didn't modify the Makefile. Go figure.
