Re: Building on Mac

I'm now using Macports 2.3.4 on OS X 10.11.6.

The configure script now finds pango, but fails later on...
checking for ZLIB... yes
checking for GLIB... yes
checking for PANGO... yes
checking for FREETYPE... yes
checking for LIBXML... yes
checking for library containing DGifOpenFileName... -lgif

checking for LIBCAIRO... yes
checking Build with Cairo support?... configure: error: in 
`/Users/max/fontforge':
configure: error: ERROR: Please install the Developer version of libpng
See `config.log' for more details

But libpng is installed, and png.h exists:
$ pkg-config --cflags libpng
-I/opt/local/include/libpng16
$ ls /opt/local/include/libpng16
png.h        pngconf.h    pnglibconf.h

The configure script is not using the -I flag provided by pkg-config 
when it tests for png.h. Unfortunately my autotools-fu is too weak to 
see why or to fix it. How do I get configure to find my png.h?

Best,
Max
