Well, I'm not really all that familiar with pkgconfig, to be perfectly
honest. But from 30 seconds of looking at the man page, it looks like
--libs will what's mostly needed for this xft problem. Also, it looks
like the command will be:
pkg-config --libs blackbox
And you're doing this so that blackbox will install .pc files, right?
(From the pkg-config manpage....)
pkg-config retrieves information about packages from special metadata
files. These files are named after the package, with the extension .pc.
By default, pkg-config looks in the directory prefix/lib/pkgconfig for
these files;
I'm hoping someone on this list (Brad?) knows a smidgen more than me on
this??
