Description steve 2004-02-11 20:15:27 UTC 
Version:           1.3 (using KDE KDE 3.2.0)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.3.1 
OS:          Solaris

After koffice's configure script told me that fontconfig was needed and giving a URL for the download I installed fontconfig 2.2.0, the latest stable release.

However, as the new fontconfig version does not use fontconfig-config but instead pkgconfig information. Hence, the configure script fails to see that it's available.

kdebase/kcontrol/fonts/configure.in.in has a check for both the
fontconfig-config, and the newer pkg-config fontconfig system. Perhaps this could be
used?

I can't duplicate. The only use of fontconfig I can see is for karbon, and Dirk fixed this in version 1.26 (with a cleanup at 1.27) - http://webcvs.kde.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/koffice/karbon/configure.in.in.diff?r1=1.25&r2=1.26&f=h.

My only concern is that the fix was mid 2003, and the report is against 1.3.0 in Feb 2004.

Unless someone can see a problem, I think this can be closed.

Months with no response. Closing.
