Where are you seeing pkg-config files for libgcrypt ?
The upstream project has (frustratingly) been hostile to any proposal to
add pkg-config support saying people should stick with their custom
libgcrypt-config tool
https://dev.gnupg.org/T2037
Even if this is something added by some distro downstream, what is the
benefit in using it, compared with libgcrypt-confg which should already
work & is portable.
Resurrecting an old thread to point out that the upstream stance
seems to have changed since that discussion:
https://git.gnupg.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=libgcrypt.git;a=commit;h=97194b422bc89a6137f4e218d4cdee118c63e96e
libgcrypt 1.9.0, released almost exactly a year ago, comes with a
pkg-config file out of the box. With that in mind, I think it would
make sense to re-evaluate this patch for inclusion.
