I doubt there are systems where ffmpeg can be installed but not
pkg-config.
But if you really think there are, the best solution is to provide a
minimalistic emulation of pkg-config. I would not object if you propose
a patch adding such a script in tools, and I would even offer to help,
to the limit of my ability. This would have the benefit of only
impacting people who want it, not slowing everybody who runs configure.
Regards,

OS/2? While this question could be interpreted as facetious, let me say I am wholly just genuinely interested in such systems - where modern FFmpeg can still build or operate. Also for the record, some distros (including Fedora) have actually stopped using original pkg-config since a few versions ago, instead opting for a new re-implementation called pkgconf (https://github.com/pkgconf/pkgconf).

Sorry if this was really not clear: I do not have installation rights on every system where I (at least from time to time) test FFmpeg. My primary point is though that I consider it completely unacceptable to constantly send messages to users that their needs are completely irrelevant to us. (I already realized that nobody is interested in me testing FFmpeg and I should probably be happy about it.) Carl Eugen

This is not true. I have already proposed many times to help you find a *good* solution to your pkg-config troubles. Regards,

I have opposer your solutions because I think they are bad solutions and
I can see a better one. I have proposed to help design said better
solution, you have always declined but never given technical arguments.

Sadly, no user shares your opinion. Carl Eugen
