Details:
While trying to configure octave to build with native graphics, I found this
error confusing (fontconfig development headers were not installed):
configure: WARNING: Fontconfig not found. Native text rendering will use
hard-coded font instead.
configure: WARNING:
configure: WARNING: I didn't find the necessary libraries to compile native
configure: WARNING: graphics. It isn't necessary to have native graphics,
configure: WARNING: but you will need to have gnuplot installed or you won't
configure: WARNING: be able to use any of Octave's plotting commands
configure: WARNING:
The message suggests to me that lack of fontconfig will not prevent native
graphics from building and that some _other_ library is missing. However,
installing libfontconfig1-dev (Ubuntu 10.4) is in fact the only action
needed.
Repeat by:
Remove libfontconfig1-dev and run ./configure, native graphics will be
disabled. Reinstall libfontconfig1-dev and run ./configure, native graphics
will be enabled.
