Re: GWorkspace and new ABI

[Johannes Brakensiek]

I just took a look into the makefiles: A problem might be that Debian 
Buster does not provide freetype-config anymore. So you won’t get any 
LD/C flags from there. I suppose there is pkg-config --cflags freetype2 
and pkgconf --libs freetype2 as a replacement for that deprecated tool. 
Correct?
