https://www.gisinternals.com/release.php

2、Set environment variables, note the GDAL version.

// windows path system environment variable
Path:C:\xxxxxx\gdal_lib\release-1930-x64-gdal-mapserver\\bin
Path:C:\xxxxxx\gdal_lib\release-1930-x64-gdal-mapserver\\bin\\gdal\\apps

// windows global system environment variable
GDAL_HOME=C:\xxxxxx\gdal_lib\release-1930-x64-gdal-mapserver
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=C:\xxxxxx\gdal_lib\release-1930-x64-gdal-mapserver
PROJ_LIB=C:\xxxxxx\gdal_lib\release-1930-x64-gdal-3-7-1-mapserver-8-0-1\bin\proj9\share
GDAL_VERSION=371

3、Install choco and pkgconfiglite (windows pkg-config).

choco install pkgconfiglite

4、Check the gdal version.

gdalinfo --version

gdal.pc file path C:\xxxxxx\gdal_lib\release-1930-x64-gdal-mapserver\gdal.pc

gdal.pc file content

name=gdal
prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
includedir=${exec_prefix}/include
datadir=${prefix}/share/${name}

Name: lib${name}
Description: Geospatial Data Abstraction Library
Version: 3.7.1
Libs: -L${libdir} -l${name}
Cflags: -I${includedir}/${name}
