- Subject: PKG_CONFIG_PATH and XFree86
Maybe this should be directed to cygwin-xfree. I don't know,
really.
I read there are plans to make fontconfig a package. It
probably will go to /usr/lib along with FreeType (the
standalone sources also include a .pc file for it), but this
doesn't fix xcursor and xft.
XFree86-prog installs
/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig/{fontconfig,xcursor,xft}.pc, but
/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig isn't in pkg-config's search path.
bash-2.05b$ pkg-config.exe --libs fontconfig
Package fontconfig was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `fontconfig.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'fontconfig' found
Testing /usr/lib/pkgconfig/openssl.pc:
bash-2.05b$ pkg-config.exe --libs openssl
-lssl -lcrypto
Should pkg-config include /usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig ? Should
/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig be a symlink to /usr/lib/pkgconfig ?
Should PKG_CONFIG_PATH be set in /etc/profile ?
I just don't think the user should set PKG_CONFIG_PATH since
XFree86 is part of Cygwin. Just my opinion.
