Install pkg-config .pc file for libf3d/libf3d_c_api

[Nokse22]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When using libf3d c bindings from a meson project it is easier to use pkg-config to find it.

Describe the solution you'd like
Install a .pc file in .../lib/pkgconfig/ for libf3d_c_api.so and libf3d.so

Describe alternatives you've considered
Using cmake is harder in meson

I don't know how to use cmake

Definitely doable as this is supported by CMake 4.1.0 : https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/merge_requests/10473

Hey, I'd like to work on this one. I can put together the .pc templates for libf3d and the C API and install them alongside the existing CMake config files.

Since CMake 4.1's pkg-config support only imports .pc files and doesn't generate them, I'll use a simple configure_file() template for this.

Can this be assigned to me?

Hi @AnikethTS

I took a quick look around, there is a project that could help us: https://github.com/antoniovazquezblanco/cmake-pcfilegenerator

That being said i have no idea how good it works, please take a look to create a prototype with or without this tool and let us know how it goes.
