pkg-config + external msys2 = package not found

[YellowOnion]

This part of stack seems to be very poorly documented

$ pacman -Ss mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2
mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2 2.0.4-1 [installed]
    A library for portable low-level access to a video framebuffer, audio
    output, mouse, and keyboard (Version 2) (mingw-w64)

$ stack install sdl2
<snip>
    Configuring sdl2-2.1.1...
    setup-Simple-Cabal-1.22.5.0-ghc-7.10.3.exe: The pkg-config package 'sdl2'
    version >=2.0.3 is required but it could not be found.

trying with --no-msys

$ stack --skip-msys install sdl2
<snip>
    Configuring sdl2-2.1.1...
    setup-Simple-Cabal-1.22.5.0-ghc-7.10.3.exe: The pkg-config package 'sdl2'
    version >=2.0.3 is required but it could not be found.

How would I proceed installing sdl2 bindings?

Yes, things like this are still frustrating on windows. Dupe of #1714

@mgsloan Sorry for late reply, but I cannot for the life of me figure out using the solution in the other thread to work around the issue in my case, is there a work around to getting my project to build sdl2?

[mgsloan]

Not sure, sorry :/ Windows isn't my specialty.
