Building on Mac

It has been many years since I have been able to build a working 
FontForge with a GUI on Mac. I'm using Homebrew but I can try installing 
another package manager if it would help. How is it done? The configure 
script dies after outputting

"""

checking for PANGO... no
configure: error: Package requirements (pango >= 1.10 pangoxft) were not 
met:

Package 'xft', required by 'pangoxft', not 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 PANGO_CFLAGS
and PANGO_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

"""

But the Homebrew package "pango" as well as "pangox-compat" are 
installed. About a year ago I spent a whole day trying to get it 
working, but unfortunately I've forgotten anything I managed to diagnose 
then... Can anybody point me in the right direction to start? (Something 
like "it'll never work with Homebrew because foo; use bar instead" could 
save me a lot of wasted time)

All the best,

Max
