Moving pkg-config and header files to libglib output? about glib-feedstock HOT 8 CLOSED

Similar issue over in conda-forge/r-rgtk2-feedstock#6, adding glib to requirements/host fixed it there too.

Relevant changes can be seen in #74 I did ❌ that at the time as the discussions in conda-forge/cfep#39 pointed to not including pkg-config files in the libXX package. I still think this makes sense long-term but only seems practicable when all the downstream dependencies also have a libXX-XX-devel split. Then the -devel packages can depend on each other. Currently, we don't have -devel packages for gtk2 or cairo. Thus I would be 👍 if someone opened a PR in the fashion of #74

glad to see this getting revived. thanks for pulling the relevant information @xhochy

This is dangerous to have. If glib is not added as a dependency in host, then run_exports will not be applied. I think we should revert #101.

Or we can keep #101, but move libglib.so file to glib and keep only libglib.so.<ver> in libglib.

In the case of r-cairo and friends, should the run_exports be enforced on things that actually only depend directly on cairo? The issue with pkg-config is that it is looking for indirect dependencies, too.

Or we can keep #101, but move libglib.so file to glib and keep only libglib.so.<ver> in libglib.

That sounds like a good idea!
