See https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/6377.
By prioritizing the 'sdl2-config'-check the librarylist that's needed to
build FFPlay is setup automatically and one doesn't have to patch
'sdl2.pc' anymore.

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to ask the upstream project or your
distro to fix the .pc file?

I could of course contact the sdl2 developers, but when 'sdl2-config'
already has the librarylist setup right to build FFPlay, why not just do
the 'sdl2-config'-check first? Is there are reason why FFMpeg's
'configure' does the 'check_pkg_config sdl2'-check first?

Those libs mentioned as 'missing' in the ticket are not
supposed to be public, since they're MinGW-w64 system libs;
at least here, they *are* in sdl2.pc, under Libs.private.
And the proper way to get pkg-config to recognize that is
to set the --static flag.

IIRC, this should only be a problem when building as static,
and as mentioned above, that means you should be setting
--pkg-config-flags="--static" when configuring FFmpeg.

Hmm, I didn't know about --pkg-config-flags="--static". I've just done a
./configure [...] --pkg-config-flags=--static and in 'config.log' I can
see "ffplay=yes". I haven't done a make install yet, but I assume FFPlay
will be build without problems. If not, I'll report back at you.
Thanks, qyot27!
