Description Foxfair Hu 2003-07-02 06:50:08 UTC 
There is a well-known problem when build fontconfig or certain ports depend on
it, since fontconfig lacks of proper dependency on xrender(X render library).

Fix: The patch needs render and xrender exist in the ports tree first, refer
to PRs: ports/53995 & ports/53996.

Apply this patch to fontconfig's Makefile:

How-To-Repeat: install current version of XF86 / Xft / fontconfig common set in a fresh
new environment. You can obtain some similar messages during the configure
stage as following:



checking for pkg-config... /usr/local/bin/pkg-config
checking for xrender >= 0.8.2... gnome-config: not found
gnome-config: not found
Package xrender was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xrender.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'xrender' found
checking for xrender >= 0... gnome-config: not found
gnome-config: not found
Package xrender was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xrender.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

That would create a circular dependency right now.  Xrender depends on 
XFree86-libraries which depend on fontconfig.  I'm trying to see if we can 
get the xrender/render ports added to the XFree86 umbrella.  It's not going 
to be easy.

This won't happen until X gets modularized (i.e. when 4.4 comes out).  At that 
time, these ports will see a lot of shakeup.
