I couldn't remember what the deal was this morning, but I just
did now. Somebody had a problem wherein FVWM wasn't finding
xft during configuration. One thing to check is to see whether
there's an "xft.pc" in /usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig, and then make
sure that PKG_CONFIG_PATH includes that directory when you
run FVWM's configure script. In other words,
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH
./configure --whatever
If there's no xft.pc, it should look something like this:
prefix=/usr/X11R6
exec_prefix=/usr/X11R6/bin
libdir=/usr/X11R6/lib
includedir=/usr/X11R6/include
freetypelibs=-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lfreetype
freetypecflags=-I/usr/X11R6/include/freetype2
xrenderlibs=-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXrender
xrendercflags=-I/usr/X11R6/include
Name: Xft
Description: X FreeType library
Version: 2.1.0
Requires: fontconfig
Libs: -L${libdir} -lXft ${freetypelibs} ${xrenderlibs}
Cflags: -I${includedir} ${freetypecflags} ${xrendercflags}
That may or may not work; it was necessary when I was getting Mozilla
to build.
