* CMake build: generate pkgconfig for public modulesMartin Reboredo2022-02-281-0/+13
After the update to the CMake based build system the ability to generate pkgconfig files, like it was with QMake, was lost. This patch adds pkgconfig generation again via a new internal command named qt_internal_export_pkg_config_file. The functionality of this command consists in checking if the target is internal. Then gets the compile definitions. It performs a search for dependencies that is somewhat similar to qt_get_direct_module_dependencies, although it won't recurse down for more deps. Each dependency is then again, checked if it's internal or has a public interface. Later these deps get deduplicated and lastly a pkgconfig file is filled. The resulting pkgconfig files of many of the Qt6 packages were validated via invocations of `pkg-config --validate` and `pkg-config --simulate` commands and later used to build local projects plus tests that use the pkg-config provided details at compilation time. Although it has some limitations, with qt_internal_add_qml_module if it specifies non-public deps these won't be listed and with non-Qt requirements, notably in static builds, not being appended to the PkgConfig file.
