Minor regression in 6.13: make fails when pkg-config isn't found

[yurivict]

Build in the VM failed because pkg-config wasn't present:

==>  Building for ustreamer-6.13
Makefile:21: *** recipe commences before first target.  Stop.
===> Compilation failed unexpectedly.

This is a minor problem, but I am still reporting it.

It's needed for gpio, drm and janus plugin.

[yurivict]

Yes, but gmake fails ungracefully when pkg-config is accidentally missing.

[mdevaev]

Could you check the latest master? It should be checked correctly.

[yurivict]

The latest commit fails gracefully:

===>  Building for ustreamer-6.13
Makefile:21: *** "No pkg-config found in /usr/local/libexec/ccache:/usr/ports/multimedia/ustreamer/work/.bin:/home/yuri/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin".  Stop.
===> Compilation failed unexpectedly.

It seems like the best thing I can do right now. In the future, I will have to completely revise the build system and maybe use autotools or something else.

It's needed for gpio, drm and janus plugin.

I'm wondering, why the dependency check in the Makefile does not check for these flags to be set. If it's only needed for gpio, drm and janus couldn't you check for WITH_GPIO=1, WITH_SYSTEMD=1 and WITH_JANUS=1?

I was also a bit confused as this new dependency wasn't added to the readme yet, but that was only an oversight I guess.

[mdevaev]

I simply forgot about it. I've just added pkg-config to README.

As for the optional dependency on pkg-config, it's easier to always require it because my Makefile is far from perfect.

Ok, thank you for the fast answer and adding it to the README 😄
