What did you see instead?
LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'upb.lib'
This is because the windows builds here have a non-default prefix (e.g. libprotobuf.lib instead of protobuf.lib), and so the linker invocation here
is actually looking for the wrong library (upb.lib instead of the libupb.lib that gets installed). Since %INSTALL_PREFIX%\lib\pkgconfig\upb.pc gets installed by default, it should be correct.
Anything else we should know about your project / environment
The error does not appear with CMake, but there's several more pkg-config files that have the same problem AFAICT.
