Can you please list dependencies? I can't seem to get it to compile. I get the following error:

gcc -Wall -std=c99 font-config-info.c -o font-config-info \
      `pkg-config --cflags gconf-2.0 gtk+-2.0` \
      `pkg-config --libs gconf-2.0 gtk+-2.0`
/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/cci0PMxu.o: undefined reference to symbol 'XrmGetResource'
//usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [font-config-info] Error 1

I've updated the README file to list what I believe are the dependencies on Ubuntu Precise:

gcc
libc6-dev
libfontconfig1-dev
libgtk2.0-dev
libx11-dev

Please let me know if you still have trouble.

I had all those installed already. I'm using Ubuntu 14.04.

EDIT: Nevermind, I saw you updated the source file as well. Pulling the new version let it compile.

Hmm, I'm not sure whether the source change that I made will make a difference.

http://askubuntu.com/questions/375624/gui-libgui-ax-o-undefined-reference-to-symbol-xsetforeground-when-compiling mentions installing an xorg-dev package as well.

Otherwise, I'm curious about whether any of the following help:

  • Adding "-lX11" to the gcc command in the Makefile.
  • Moving "x11" to the beginning of the LIBS list in the Makefile.

Oh, whoops. Misread your comment and didn't realize that it's working now. Thanks!
