The dependancy to x11-libs/libXft is missing from x11-misc/enter-0.0.9

Sorry, I filled the bug report too fast.

The dependancy to x11-libs/libXft is there, but xft-config cannot be found.

Here is the detail of the error in the config.log

configure:4372: checking for xft-config
configure:4405: result: no
configure:4415: error: You need to have libXft.

It is indeed not provided by the x11-libs/libXft-2.2.0 package installed on my system

[Comment 2 Agostino Sarubbo 2012-01-05 09:23:07 UTC]

please rebuild x11-libs/libXft

[Comment 3 Weonbin 2012-01-06 01:37:29 UTC]

Rebuilding xft didn't helped because xft-config has been deprecated.

I had to patch the configure.ac to make it use pkg-config instead to get it to compile.

I attach the new ebuild and the patch
