The idea of linking dependencies found to `libcurl.pc` turns out not to work in practice in some cases. Specifically: gss, ldap, mbedtls, libmsh3, rustls A `.pc` may not work or be missing for a couple of reasons: - not all build methods generate it: mbedTLS, Rustls - generated file is broken: msh3 Ref: https://github.com/nibanks/msh3/pull/225 - installed package flavour isn't shipping with one: FreeBSD GSS, OmniOS LDAP, macOS LDAP The effect of such issues shall be subtle in theory, because `libcurl.pc` normally lists these dependencies in the `Requires.private` section meant for static linking. But, e.g. `pkg-config --exists` requires these to be present, and builds sometimes use this check regardless of build type. This bug is not present in `pkgconf`; it only checks for them when `--static` is also passed. Fix these by adding affected `.pc` references to `libcurl.pc` only when we detected the dependency via `pkg-config`. There are a few side-effects of this solution: - references are never added for dependencies where curl doesn't implement `pkg-config` detection. These are: - autotools: ldap, mbedtls, msh3 - cmake: ldap (pending #15273) - generated `libcurl.pc` depends on the build-time environment. - generated `libcurl.pc` depends on curl build tool (cmake, autotools). - generated `libcurl.pc` depends on curl build implementation details. Make an exception for GNU GSS, where I blindly guess that `gss.pc` is always available, as no issues were reported. Other, not mentioned, dependencies continue to be added regardless of the detection method.
