Description

I manually need to recreate these for each upgrade of emscripten, it would be helpful to have them included by default. It helps (VASTLY HELPS) configure scripts to complete without errors and configure accurately.

  1. Create a default system/lib/pkgconfig
  2. Include glesv2.pc, egl.pc, libpng.pc, zlib.pc, sdl.pc (and any other included libraries with emscripten's build).

This would be a huge improvement and very low effort.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Create .pc files for each included library (glesv2, egl, libpng, zlib, sdl) and place them in a default system/lib/pkgconfig directory within the emscripten installation. Ensure the files contain correct compiler flags and library paths. Test with a configure script that uses pkg config.
