Bug Description

Hello~

I expected pkg-config to be able to give me information about "cuda", but instead I got:
root@71f807687755:/alvr# pkg-config --libs --cflags cuda
Package cuda was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `cuda.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'cuda' found

Adding a file /usr/share/pkgconfig/cuda.pc fixes it: https://github.com/Toxblh/ALVR/blob/nvidia-linux/packaging/deb/cuda.pc:

root@71f807687755:/alvr# pkg-config --libs --cflags cuda
-I/usr/lib/cuda/include -L/usr/lib/cuda/lib64/stubs -lcuda
