#77 use all link flags from pkg-config

[archie2x]

Uses output of pkg-config --libs instead of pkg-config --variable=libdir

Automatically adds dynamic library dependencies when linking with libraylib.so

I'm pretty sure that there must have been a reason I didn't use pkg-config --libs in the first place. Raylib doesn't have very good support for pkg-config so I suspect it was that on some platforms this gives wrong results.

Yes that multiplatform is difficult. My concern would be that if there are spaces in the tokens then splitting it on spaces isn't the correct thing.

I think the issue is that some distributions (homebrew on Mac maybe) install both static and dynamic versions of raylib. Then even if you do pkg-config --libs --static you still get the dynamic version. So you have to actually specify libraylib.a to ensure you get the static version.

I just did it for Linux. I was afraid there were reasons it was done this way for other platforms.

I think Mac and Windows users will generally be using our binary wheels now. Linux users are probably the only ones compiling, so I’m inclined to accept PR. If we do get any bug reports from that only then try to come up with a more complex solution. (Best thing would be to fix Raylib’s pkg config but that doesn’t seem to be trivial)

Btw I’ve also considered doing a DRM binary wheel for PI but I’m not sure how to allow user to select if they want the DRM or the X11 one.
