Bug 419739 – x11-libs/libXft-2.2.0 - configure: package fontconfig not found in pkg-config search path

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Vasiliy 2012-06-05 11:21:35 UTC]

Merging with ROOT=/target fails econf.
/target/usr/lib/pkgconfig/fontconfig.pc exists.
Wrong/missing PKG_CONFIG_PATH?

:roll:
What does i.e. 'pkg-config fontconfig --cflags' return ?

[Comment 4 Rafał Mużyło 2012-06-05 18:39:51 UTC]

Never mind.
All of your bugs seem to be a duplicates of a single one: that pkg-config in portage hates ROOT set.

[Comment 5 Vasiliy 2012-06-05 19:48:15 UTC]

:( Any workaround?

[Comment 6 Rafał Mużyło 2012-06-05 19:54:59 UTC]

The question is: what are you trying to do ?
Prefix is a separate set of KEYWORDS for a reason.

[Comment 7 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn 2012-06-05 19:57:07 UTC]

This is not about prefix (or EROOT), this is about ROOT=... specifying a different merge directory than /

I am trying to install system with GUI but w/o portage ang gcc in ROOT=/target. I'm bad?

Well, unless that ROOT is added to PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR (at least it seems to be the correct var for this usecase) either by ebuilds or an eclass, I don't se it working with anything using pkg-config during build.

Doesn't sound like anything x11@ can handle.
