Currently if users run autoreconf then configure without having pkg-config installed, they see: ./configure: line 5283: syntax error near unexpected token FFMPEG,' ./configure: line 5283: PKG_CHECK_MODULES(FFMPEG, libavutil libavformat libavcodec libswscale, HAVE_FFMPEG=yes)' This is not hugely helpful and causes support queries and confusion. It is because the pkg.m4 file that defines PKG_CHECK_MODULES is not available of pkg-config is not installed. To work around this, remove PKG_CHECK_MODULES and do roughly the equivalent calling pkg-config directly. To mirror the current behaviour, we also add a test for pkg-config being present and abort if it is not. (I am not 100% sure this is the desired behaviour, but regardless this commit is still an improvement on what we currently have.)
