checking for XFT... configure: error: *** Required xft Librarys not found ***


hi all,
I'm cross-compiling the linux kernel 2.6.28 for the ARM9 at91rm9200ek target using buildroot-2009.05. Compiler is GCC-4.3.3, runtime is uclibc.
I was able to get a kernel and NFS up and running. Now, I want to get some window manager to run and I realized there was support for matchbox from within buildroot in the 'package selection for the target' section so I went ahead and tried to build it...

I keep hitting this build error related to building the matchbox-keyboard-0.1 component:
checking for FAKEKEY... yes
checking for XFT... configure: error: *** Required xft Librarys not found ***
make: *** [/folk/alexf/arm_linux/buildroot-2009.05/build_arm/matchbox-keyboard-0.1/.configured] Error 1

I believe I enabled everything I had to in order to get xft support but it still won't fly. I even tried to disable keyboard support to move ahead, but obviously, this is enabled by default when the BR2_PACKAGE_MATCHBOX is enabled so I don't have a choice but get it working. Note that I have auto-apt enabled also.

My host is Debian but I also tried Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 4 (Nahant Update 7).

is this a problem with the host RPM/packages or with my buildroot configuration?

thanks in advance,
Alex
