[mingw64] [ffmpeg] fribidi not found using pkg-config

[dsent]

I get this error on configure, but fribidi is installed, I can see it in /local64/bin-video, /local64/lib. There is an \local64\lib\pkgconfig\fribidi.pc file. Tried to remove it and rebuild with the same result.

ffmpeg_extra is for the issue #1725

Should I close the issue if I personally don't need the fribidi package? Recompiled with fribidi disabled, and it works for my workflow.

No, it's reproducible, and I can trace it to being an issue in fribidi's since although fribidi's pkg-config template https://github.com/fribidi/fribidi/blob/master/fribidi.pc.in#L13 contains -DFRIBIDI_LIB_STATIC, that line somehow gets removed when meson generates it, resulting in the broken compilation.

[1480c1]

I have a guess that it's because meson's pkgconfig import doesn't have requires_private

[1480c1]

nope, wrong field

[1480c1]

seems that meson's pkgconfig doesn't have cflags.private, shame.
