Can't Build On Debian Stretch: Missing fontconfig #446

@RHOPKINS13

Description

@RHOPKINS13

I can't seem to get this to build in Debian Stretch 64-bit. I've installed build-essential, gcc-c++, ia32-libs, lib32z1, and g++-multilib.

Now when I try to build, I get an error that it couldn't find fontconfig:
-- Target architecture: i386 -- Building for 32 Bit -- Target architecture: i386 -- Checking for module 'fontconfig' -- No package 'fontconfig' found CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.7/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:415 (message): A required package was not found Call Stack (most recent call first): /usr/share/cmake-3.7/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:588 (_pkg_check_modules_internal) mainui/CMakeLists.txt:177 (pkg_check_modules)
I assume this is because I only have the 64-bit fontconfig package installed and not the 32-bit one. So I've tried to install the 32-bit one, but I'm getting dependency issues. Any advice?
