Dear Michael,
At the moment vdk2 does not vendor a .pc file and instead managed lib
and cflag info via a vdk-config-2 file. This is broken for cross-build
use as it has pkg-config invocations without triplet and hence this
causes cross-build issues.
Simple solution is to use a pkg-config file for getting all necessary
cflags and libs, which also improves the build experience for everyone.
Upstream is inactive for around a decade and so it'd be nice if this
could be taken up in the debian package (the change is in no way large
or disruptive).
I've attached a patch to get the .pc file installed with libvdk2-dev,
please consider applying.
Best,
Nilesh
