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.

Research direction
The issue requests adding pkg config .pc files for commonly included libraries (glesv2, egl, libpng, zlib, sdl) in Emscripten's system/lib/pkgconfig. Currently, no .pc files are provided, causing configure scripts to fail. To implement, examine the Emscripten build process to determine how libraries are built and where to place .pc files. Each .pc file should define the library name, version, and compiler/linker flags appropriate for Emscripten targets. Refer to the pkg config specification for formatting. Consider commenting on the issue with a proposed list of libraries or a first draft.
