[Mingw-cross-env-list] Qt5 and fontconfig

[Paul Boddie]

Hello,

I've been trying to get the "master" version (and, before that, the "stable" 
version) of MXE to build the qt5 target, but I keep getting the following 
error:

Failed to build package fontconfig!
------------------------------------------------------------
tail: inotify cannot be used, reverting to polling
checking for posix_fadvise... no
checking for struct dirent.d_type... no
./configure: line 13335: syntax error near unexpected token `FREETYPE,'
./configure: line 13335: `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(FREETYPE, freetype2)'
make[1]: *** [build-only-fontconfig_i686-pc-mingw32.static] Error 2

Looking through the mailing list archives, it appears that there is some 
dispute as to whether freetype should be built separately for Qt on Windows, 
but it is in the list of dependencies compiled before the fontconfig target is 
attempted:

gcc
zlib
libgpg_error
libgcrypt
openssl
postgresql
libiconv
gettext
gmp
nettle
pcre
gnutls
freetds
libpng
jpeg
sqlite
bzip2
freetype
expat

Am I overlooking a relatively simple fix to this problem?
