qt6: *.pc files required by pkg-config are missing

Reported by: jyssh (Jayesh Bhoot) Owned by: MarcusCalhoun-Lopez (Marcus Calhoun-Lopez)

Port: qt6

Description

Early versions of Qt6 ​did ​not ​install *.pc files required by pkg-config in qt_dir/lib/pkgconfig path (which should be /opt/local/libexec/qt6/lib/pkgconfig in MacPorts's case, if we follow the lead of qt5 package).

While this seems to have been resolved at the time of this writing in qt6 packages in other package management systems, MacPorts's package may not have it fixed yet.

One possible reason:

In ​https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-86080 it says

On macOS, there are no .pc files installed by a Qt build from source.

That comment was from July 2023; I don't know if it's still accurate.
