Description Miguel Revilla Rodríguez 2003-04-29 17:54:42 UTC 
vte-0.10.27 won't compile because of missing xft, but xft is actually present through 
xfree 
 
LOG: 
emerge vte

Package xft was not found in the pkg-config search path. 
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xft.pc' 
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable 
No package 'xft' found

environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can 
find them.

Comment 1 foser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-04-30 19:20:07 UTC 
what is the output of  'qpkg -l xfree | grep xft.pc' ?
Comment 2 Miguel Revilla Rodríguez 2003-04-30 19:37:00 UTC 
Just this line: 
 
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/xft.pc
Comment 3 foser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-04-30 19:39:47 UTC 
make sure it is really there .
Comment 4 Miguel Revilla Rodríguez 2003-04-30 19:42:51 UTC 
It is NOT there :((( 
Why?
Comment 5 foser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-04-30 21:22:57 UTC 
you used an early (masked) xfree-4.3 which didnt block xft correctly. So it installed over xft and later on the xft ebuild got removed taking the common parts with it. You can probably get a correct xft.pc from the old fontconfig/xft source or just recompile xfree.
