Description Brian Ewins 2009-03-09 06:07:12 UTC

Created attachment 23689 [details] [review]
fixes the bug as described

Steps to reproduce:
run poppler's autogen.sh on a system with no pkg-config (eg cygwin)

You'll see this error:
./configure: line 22737: syntax error near unexpected token `FREETYPE,'
./configure: line 22737: `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(FREETYPE, freetype2,'

While a system missing pkg-config is probably going to have lots of problems, its helpful to test for it and print an appropriate error if its missing. The attached patch does this.
