ECMGeneratePkgConfigFile: add variables used by pkg_check_modules
ClosedPublic

Details

Summary

If we ever end up in a situation where the generated .pc file is
actually used by cmake's pkg_check_modules, then we need the
includedir and libdir variables; pkg_check_modules ignores the
Makefile-like Libs and Cflags lines of the .pc file.

Context: craft adds a cmake buildsystem for sqlite3, which is then
found using pkgconfig in akonadi.

Test Plan

Filipe Azevedo is doing all the testing, I'm just providing patches :)

Comment edited, the includedir value is correct for this test.

FWIW, this still results in inproper pc files, from what I heard recently. The prefix variable can be overriden from outside when calling pkg-config (cmp. pkg-config --help) to allow for relocatable installations. Same like CMake Config files also allow relocation by having the install prefix not hardcoded into directory var values.

So ideally any other paths expressions in the pc file use at least the prefix variable.

No more info here myself.
