[cairo] Problem ./configure-ing concerning fontconfig/freetype

[Martin Nyolt]

Hi all,

I want to cross-compile cairo 1.6.4, but the configure-script can't 
compile the fontconfig testing code.

It says it's missing the libfreetype.so.6 and libxml2.so.2, but these 
files are already in $PREFIX/lib, like $PREFIX/lib/libfontconfig.so.
I also tried several environment vars like LIBS, LDFLAGS etc., but not 
any of them worked.
freetype, fontconfig and libxml compiled without any errors.

Is there anything else I can do so ld finds those two libs?


$ ./configure --host=arm-linux --prefix=/home/mn133/dist --disable-win32 
--disable-ps --disable-pdf
