PKG_CONFIG_PATH and XFree86


Maybe this should be directed to cygwin-xfree. I don't know,
really.

I read there are plans to make fontconfig a package. It
probably will go to /usr/lib along with FreeType (the
standalone sources also include a .pc file for it), but this
doesn't fix xcursor and xft.

XFree86-prog installs
/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig/{fontconfig,xcursor,xft}.pc, but
/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig isn't in pkg-config's search path.

bash-2.05b$ pkg-config.exe --libs fontconfig
Package fontconfig was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `fontconfig.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'fontconfig' found

Testing /usr/lib/pkgconfig/openssl.pc:

bash-2.05b$ pkg-config.exe --libs openssl
-lssl -lcrypto

Should pkg-config include /usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig ? Should
/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig be a symlink to /usr/lib/pkgconfig ?
Should PKG_CONFIG_PATH be set in /etc/profile ?

I just don't think the user should set PKG_CONFIG_PATH since
XFree86 is part of Cygwin. Just my opinion.
