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 ...
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'.
Yes, indeed, I wasn't sure about the best warning/error messages. This
could be improved and eventually unified for all these pkg-config vs.
*FLAGS cases.
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.
Yep, this is a long standing issue.
I'm putting this on my todo list but this can take a while, I'm too busy
with other stuff. However, if anybody else volunteers ... please drop a
note here.
