[Bug 1919016] Re: fcgi.pc file not provided

[Sergio Durigan Junior]

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report.

It is not clear to me which Ubuntu release you are using.  I know that
libfcgi-dev on Hirsute does have the .pc file, so I am assuming you are
probably using Focal or Groovy.

I think this is a sensible request, but unfortunately the libfcgi
version we ship on Focal does not provide an fcgi.pc file.  In theory we
could maintain our own Ubuntu-specific fcgi.pc file, but I think it
would be easier for you to just adjust the Makefile and manually set
LDFLAGS with the correct values for libfcgi.

I am marking this bug as Incomplete for now because we need to know your
Ubuntu release first.  When you provide it, please set this bug status
back to "New".  Thank you!

Title:
  fcgi.pc file not provided

Status in libfcgi package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I'm currently compiling the fcgi2 library from master using the
  following instructions:

  git clone https://github.com/FastCGI-Archives/fcgi2.git
  cd fcgi2
  ./autogen.sh && ./configure --prefix=/usr && make && make install

  It works fine and then I can link it with my application using a Makefile and something like:
  CFLAGS += `pkg-config --cflags fcgi`
  LDFLAGS += `pkg-config --libs fcgi`
  application:
  @$(LINKER) $(CFLAGS) src/applications/$(TARGET).c $(OBJECTS) $(LDFLAGS) -o $(BINDIR)/$(TARGET)

  Now, I would like to use the libfcgi-dev package for various reasons.

  The groovy libfcgi2-dev package does not provide a fcgi.pc file hence
  pkg-config fails.

  Would it be possible to update your building/packaging script to
  provide this file?

  Best regards,
