Bug#486444: "pkg-config --libs xft" does not list -lfontconfig anymore, iceape FTBFS

[Petr Salinger]

Package: xft, iceape
Severity: important

Hello,

the last change in xft 2.1.12-3 due to #389831
dropped from "pkg-config  --libs xft" -lfontconfig.

Current iceape have in

gfx/src/shared/Makefile.in:

ifdef MOZ_ENABLE_XFT
REQUIRES        += pref
CPPSRCS += nsFontConfigUtils.cpp
LOCAL_INCLUDES += $(MOZ_XFT_CFLAGS)
endif

The nsFontConfigUtils.cpp uses FcPattern*() calls directly,
similarly gfx/src/ps/nsFontMetricsPS.cpp uses them
when MOZ_ENABLE_XFT is defined.

So iceape with current xft fails to link.
It might affect also other mozilla related packages.
