cairo, freetype and fontconfig make use of pkg-config to get and provide compiler flags/paths. Make sure that pkg-config is finding all the dependencies correctly by setting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable, containing paths to these .pc files.
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/lib/pkgconfig Also, when you run configure with a '--prefix=/opt' it will automatically find the respective .pc files(freetype2.pc/fontconfig.pc/etc) in '/opt/lib/pkgconfig' You can inspect the config.log of the package you're trying to build, this file contains the configure script's log. -- zoyd --- On Sat, 9/11/10, Giriprasad Deviprasad <g_p...@yahoo.in> wrote: > From: Giriprasad Deviprasad <g_p...@yahoo.in> > Subject: [PLUG] Cairo cross compile > To: plug-mail@plug.org.in, il...@lists.linux-delhi.org > Date: Saturday, September 11, 2010, 4:41 PM > Hi All, > > I am trying to cross compile GTK+ in hawkboard > (www.hawkboard.org).
