On Windows, both vcpkg and conda package managers explicitly support the use of pkg-config
.pcfiles. Consuming this files is done either via CMake'sFindPkgConfigmodule, or directly usingpkg-configtool with the--msvc-syntaxcommand line option (see https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pkg-config/pkg-config/-/blob/master/README.win32).For this reason, I do not think there is any reason for not installing
.pcfiles if the library is configured on Windows.
