E17 from CVS...

I've compiled e17 from cvs on ubuntu a few times but I'm running into trouble on arch...

evas needs libpng, libsvg, and a few other libs...

but installing libpng and libsvg with pacman does not work (./autogen doesnt see them) - libtiff,edb,gif, and all of the others do though...

With ubuntu I had to install libpng-dev and libsvg-dev packages in order to get it to compile, but I'm at a loss with arch/pacman...

How do I get the dev packages for libpng and libsvg... if thats what the problem is...

I plan to try to install from source, but I'm not sure what to use for the prefix on ./configure...

(if you cant tell - i'm a real noob... but... I'm learning more everyday)

thanks for any advice

Re: E17 from CVS...

There are no -dev packages in Arch, header files are all included in the main packages.  Maybe try 'pacman -S pkgconfig'.

Edit: there is a CVS build for evas on AUR already, here

pkgconfig was the answer - thanks, really appreciate it...
