when running under mingw64.exe/mingw32.exe the pathes from the environment are transformed into Windows pathes. As a result PKG_CONFIG_PATH because a Windows path. When passed to the non-mingw pkg-config the path becomes invalid and is not used properly. To solve this the mingw pkg-config must be installed. It works with Windows pathes as expected. As a background to this issue, this was originally reported to cmake: https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/issues/18980
