Hi,

I have successfully built the latest release of taglib under msys/mingw. I used the install target to install the files after build which appeared to succeed.
I did use a custom install prefix but I don't think it causes the issue I am having.

I am currently implementing a program linking against taglib. It uses cmake as a build system. My application uses pkg-config to locate the taglib installation to link against.
However pkg-config was failing and after some investigation I discovered that my installation directory was missing taglib.pc.
taglib_c.pc was installed (which 'Requires' taglib so it is a bit useless).

This appears to be down to some lines in CMakeLists.txt which exclude taglib.pc from installation on the WIN32 platform.

Is this a bug that I should be reporting via the kde bug tracker ?

I figure that either both taglib_c.pc and taglib.pc need to be installed for WIN32 or neither.
