Re: gtkFB cross compile errors

[Jace Krull <krull balatech com>]

I had a similar problem for which I've put in a temporary workaround. 
May not be a good long-term solution, but ...

1) Delete the .la files. The libtool/linker will then pick up the .so 
files instead.
2) Add some -l linker options in the pkgconfig .pc files. The .la files 
encapsulated some dependent library information which now must be 
supplied explicitly to the linker. I don't have handy the exact 
libraries on which .pc files (or maybe the freetype-config script), but 
hopefully you can figure it out from the error messages.

My problem is I really am moving the libraries around. Since it doesn't 
seem like you are, I don't know why you get the same messages. It may 
indicate some problem with the search order, or the build process from 
one of the other packages (i.e. something linked into /usr/lib instead 
of /opt/target/lib). In any case, my workaround may provide some relief...

Good luck,
