Yes, pkgconfig is the way

Btw if you want to add cmake support, meson supports these two: https://mesonbuild.com/CMake-module.html#cmakewrite_basic_package_version_file

simple example:

Would simplify inclusion into CMake/Conan but currently the only option is pkgconfig.

from inih.

@aengusjiang Sorry, I don't plan to do this. I personally don't want to keep up with N different build systems. There's already a Meson config file for Meson. See further discussion at #105 and #97

from inih.
