libcairo.la not found make errors in several sources
A few sources I've built seem to be looking for
usr/lib/pkgconfig/src/libcairo.la
as a subdirectory of the source folder rather than
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/src/libcairo.la
or
/usr/lib/libcairo.la
where it actually exists. My libcairo is a custom built one with glitz enabled but I can't see why other sources are looking and not finding it in say /usr/lib/
Anyone got some clues how to fix this? I can't see any .pc associated with it, nor anything else that might give a clue.
At least the last one is missing. Not sure how to create those though. I always assumed that the install would create or run the commands to create them.
Yeah I've gone back to stock 1.4.14 now - the glitz backend is too buggy to use in cairo-dock anyway, which is the only reason I need a glitz enabled cairo.

You can still run cairo-dock without a glitz enabled cairo. It just needs glitz on the system. not a cairo enabled glitz.
