Re: Regressions in build process introduced since August

[Stefan Weil]

Hi,

I just noticed another regression:

A cross build targeting Windows no longer detects VNC JPEG support. 
Using pkg-config like in the patch below would fix that (and also works 
for native builds on Debian GNU Linux).

Maybe the current find_library ignores --extra-cflags and 
--extra-ldflags? That would explain why it fails to find the required 
header and library files. Other checks would fail then, too.

Regards,

Stefan
