[feature] MesonToolchain: DEPRECATION: "pkgconfig" entry is deprecated and should be replaced by "pkg-config"

[SpaceIm]

What is your suggestion?

When you build a recipe based on meson with meson 1.3.0, there is a deprecation message:

DEPRECATION: "pkgconfig" entry is deprecated and should be replaced by "pkg-config"

It comes from the file generated by MesonToolchain conan_meson_native.ini where there is for example pkgconfig = 'C:/Users/spaceim/.conan2/p/pkgco6062a3e090f7e/p/bin/pkgconf.exe' if pkgconf recipe is also in build requirements.

So MesonToolchain should be updated in order to handle old and new meson convention.

Have you read the CONTRIBUTING guide?

@memsharded, did you see this issue? It will break soon or later. The workaround is to define both pkgconfig and pkg-config entries in machine file as explained in https://mesonbuild.com/Release-notes-for-1-3-0.html#machine-files-pkgconfig-field-deprecated-and-replaced-by-pkgconfig
