Re: [ft] Freetype2-dev package not found when crosscompiling

[suzuki toshiya]

Dear Lawrence,

Thank you for good pointing out. Now I'm afraid that there is a possibility
that setting both of PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR & PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR made pkg-config
search wrong directory. Something like this.

PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR=/sysroot/cross-blahblahblah
-> pkg-config will search /sysroot/cross-blahblahblah/usr/lib/pkgconfig/

PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/sysroot/cross-blahblahblah/usr/lib/pkgconfig/
-> pkg-config will search /sysroot/cross-blahblahblah/usr/lib/pkgconfig/

PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR=/sysroot/cross-blahblahblah
PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/sysroot/cross-blahblahblah/usr/lib/pkgconfig/
-> pkg-config will search
/sysroot/cross-blahblahblah/sysroot/cross-blahblahblah/usr/lib/pkgconfig/

Nik, if you set PKG_CONFIG_DEBUG_SPEW and execute pkg-config,
you would receive some messages telling where freetype2.pc comes from, like 
this.

...
Looking for package 'freetype2'
Looking for package 'freetype2-uninstalled'
Reading 'freetype2' from file '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/freetype2.pc'
Parsing package file '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/freetype2.pc'
  line>prefix=/usr
...

Please confirm which freetype2.pc is used.

Regards,
mpsuzuki
