>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2989
>             Project: Apache Avro
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: c
>            Reporter: B

> Google explicitly is not supporting pkg-config: [https://github.com/google/snappy/pull/86]
> But CMakeLists.txt does this:
> {code:java}
> set(SNAPPY_PKG libsnappy)
> {code}
> And later SNAPPY_PKG is what ends up in the pkg-config `Requires` section.
> The end result is that `pkg-config --exists` will always fail, since the Require'd package is (almost never) around, unless package managers or users went and manually added one.
> Note that this (softly) requires https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2987 to be fixed first – without that fix, the whole Requires: section isn't really working in the first place.
