Description James Henstridge 2003-10-06 06:36:49 UTC 
The Xrender package now requires an x11.pc file in your pkg-config path in order
for configure to complete.

This means that the user either needs to rebuild the versions of the X libraries
available from freedesktop.org, or write an x11.pc file (error prone).

As Xrender is a prerequisite for building Xft (which in turn is a prerequisite
for GTK), it would be nice to reduce the number of libraries a user will need to
(re)build in order to use apps on older systems.

It would be better if Xrender would fall back to the standard autoconf checks
for the X libraries if the x11 pkg-config file can't be found.

It looks to me like it checks for X with AC_PATH_XTRA if x11.pc doesn't exist...

See bug #122

I just tried building things again, and it seems to work.

I was basing this bug report off a jhbuild bug report I had received.  I should
have checked things a bit more before filing.
