[PLUG] Cairo cross compile

[zoyd]

cairo, freetype and fontconfig make use of pkg-config to get and provide compiler flags/paths. Make sure that pkg-config is finding all the dependencies correctly by setting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable, containing paths to these .pc files. 

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/lib/pkgconfig

Also, when you run configure with a '--prefix=/opt' it will automatically find the respective .pc files(freetype2.pc/fontconfig.pc/etc) in '/opt/lib/pkgconfig'

You can inspect the config.log of the package you're trying to build, this file contains the configure script's log.
