something is missing libxcb-dev dependency

[Arslan S.]

recently most of the i have to load libxcb-dev for configure scripts to find gtk2, digging in the problem i have found this

Code: [Select]

pkg-config --libs x11
Package xcb was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xcb.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'xcb', required by 'X11', not found
i am trying to find which one really misses libxcb-dev, is it Xorg-7.5-dev ??

I've also noticed this recently, but Xorg-7.5-dev didn't change so I guess this is most likely coming from the recent update to gtk2 and friends?

[Arslan S.]

but why does pkg-config complain about libxcb for x11

on a debian system libxcb-dev is dep of libx11-dev
