[Solved] No package 'xorg-server' found, but it IS installed

I ran makepkg on a PKGBUILD script I modified.
It contains "depends=(xorg-server)".

It made good progress until it hit this:

checking for XORG... no
configure: error: Package requirements (xorg-server >= 1.0.99.901 xproto fontsproto ) were not met:

No package 'xorg-server' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XORG_CFLAGS
and XORG_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...

But "pacman -Qs xorg-server" reveals version 1.10.2-1 is installed.

Why can't makepkg find it?

xorg-server-devel is needed for building. This is a rare case of a -devel package in Arch.

Thank you, falconindy! You are right. I installed it and now it compiles.
