Do not require wayland-protocols as dependency in the .pc file
Basically, I was building some packages on Guix. I figured out that
wayland-protocols was listed among propagated-inputs for gtk+ package
(gtk-3-24). propagated-inputs holds a list of runtime dependencies,
that should be available to any other package that depends on gtk+.
While discussing we clarified that wayland-protocols is not runtime
dependency. So I moved it to native-inputs of gtk+ package, which
means that, this dependency will be available only to gtk+ package and
only at build time. Once moved, building of other applications that
depening on gtk+ started to fail.
Investigation showed that, all .pc (pkg-config) files prepared by gtk+
package, was including:
Requires.private: ... wayland-protocols ...
Since it becomes requirement, other applications was failing with
missing dependency wayland-protocols of dependency gtk+, for instance:
-- Checking for module 'gtk+-3.0'
-- Package 'wayland-protocols', required by 'gdk-3.0', not found
While actually wayland-protocols is not even a build time dependency
of application that depends on gtk+. Advertisement of such
requirement, is a bit misleading, because one does not need it at
runtime, especially applications based on gtk.
