(trying to reconnect the dots...)
Right. But in turns out that pkg-config has been fixed, yet there still
are errors, because the Xorg packages define an "sdk_dir" (or so)
variable, and use that to prefix a lot of directories, of which the
runtime directories.
So, it's not about a pkg-config issue, but mainly because all of the
Xorg packages are bran-damaged and try (and fail) to circumvent
pkg-config functionality by setting variables that are not common
pkg-config variables.
I did not correctly update the cover letter from the previous iteration,
sorry... I can rewrite it and respin the series, but the patches will
not change.
Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
