Installing Xorg-7.2 using latest BLFS svn book on top of LFS-6.3. All other xorg-libs have installed with no problems. The configure error is:
"Package requirements (fontconfig >= 2.2) were not met: No package 'fontconfig' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variableif you installed software in a non-standard prefix. [of course the BLFS standard is prefix=/usr] Alternatively, you may set the envrionment variables FONTCONFIG_CFLAGS and FONTCONFIG_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config." $PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/bin/pkg-config:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/share:/usr/include Since all other xorg libraries installed with no problem I was at a loss. I used a script, based on the book and the wiki, to automate the build. This library kept failing. Finally I used the following commands: export FONTCONFIG_CFLAGS=/usr/include/fontconfig export FONTCONFIG_LIBS=/usr/lib ./configure $XORG_CONFIG and it configured, made and installed successfully. I'm glad, but also confused. I didn't even get any "me too's" when I googled and found nothing similar in the archives. Therefore, I'm assuming that it was something I did or overlooked. Can anyone see anything I missed? Is there a "hack" to any of the libXlt files that would "work?" If this could be a problem for others, I would be more than happy to document this in the wiki, but I don't want to document something that affected only me.
