Hi,
I am using your the excellent libunistring in an open source library that I am
developing.
However, libunistring does not provide a .pc file meaning that it cannot be
detected/verified via the pkg-config command. This in turn can make it very
problematic and error-prone trying to link to it.
I appreciate that this is a very small detail but it would make things a lot
easier for developers using the library.
I hope that you can find the time to give this your attention and, for your
convenience and consideration, I have attached a tested patch to address the
problem.
Keep up the good work,
kind regards,
Chris Morrison
