> that there is an application installed which uses the libswscale API
> but without libswscale installed, the libswscale pc file in this case
> requires the presence of libavcodec which provides a compatible API).

> Since ffmpeg currently doesn't install the libswscale pc file if
> libswscale isn't enabled, then this is a bug (which will broke
> applications requiring libswscale functionality on systems without
> libswscale).
> 
> Otherwise, if we don't care about that (afterall they can always
> install libswscale if they want) we can drop libswscale pc generation
> when libswscale isn't enabled and fix the issue of the subject.

> Patch for the second option included, regards.
