Bug fix
Currently the entire source code is downloaded, but we only need the package config file. So it would make sense to somehow just get the package config(eg. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/libsdl-org/SDL/main/sdl2.pc.in)

@rashil2000 how exactly should the mingw packages be added? Would making them available to pkg-config suffice? Does it need to be added to its own /bin /lib etc ?
Sorry, I have no idea about this software, I won't be able to help :(
(I trust the contributors who are familiar with it when they submit the manifest).
Would making them available to pkg-config suffice?
In short, yes, exposing to pkg-config is enough. If scoop has since added a standardized way to do this, great. At the time of the originating PR, none existed, so a global environment variable was used which pkg-config will pick up.
Of course, there are other ways the library can be found (e.g. FindSDL2.cmake) but this comes with its own drama ❤️ and is probably best for another repo. :)
Does it need to be added to its own /bin /lib etc ?
Not necessarily, as long as it can be found.
For whatever reason, pkg-config does not work even though the envs are set.

As long as pkg-config honors that variable, it should work. My only recommendation is to echo its value just before use and ensure the path separators are valid for your operating system.
