We could do something similar for the detection of xft/freetype, i.e.
not abort the configure job but continue anyway if pkg-config is not
available. Again, the user would have to provide the correct flags in
CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS instead.
That said, configure would still abort if it didn't *find* the libs, but
you wouldn't have to install pkg-config if you can set the
CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS properly for your system.
Alternative proposal:
configure still aborts in that case but gives a richer warning message: Please install pkg-config, or set CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS adequately for XFT, or use 'configure --disable-xft'.
BTW: we're also using pkg-config for the detection of Cairo libs. We
could take a similar approach for this as well.
Definitely yes.
