[Fontconfig] fontconfig.pc variable for configdir (Was Fwd: [ANNOUNCE] X11R7.6 font modules)
How would you guys feel about adding a variable to fontconfig.pc that could be queried to find out what confdir was set to? We build fontconfig with: --with-confdir=$X11_PREFIX/lib/X11/fontconfig and it would be nice if this was used as the default by other packages.

No objections. We should perhaps have one for cachedir too? Feel free to submit a patch. behdad On 10/05/10 19:59, Jeremy Huddleston wrote:> How would you guys feel about adding a variable to fontconfig.pc that could be queried to find out what confdir was set to?
