I'm migrating a machine to Modular X according to:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/modular-x-howto.xml

I've finished step 1, and with step 2 : emerge xorg-x11
gives with the mkfontscale package the following error message:

Code:

checking for X11... configure: error: Package requirements (x11) were not met:

No package 'x11' 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 X11_CFLAGS
and X11_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.


Since I'm migrating to modular X, I've removed the 'old' xorg-x11.
One of the first packages emerge wants to install is mkfontscale.
Strange is that the error message mentioned 'no package x11 fount',
a circular problem??

A few months ago I've migrated a similar system without any problems.
I hope someone can help me.

I've been playing around this afternoon to solve this problem. I think I've
found a solution, by checking the log files of an other system.

When i first emerge x11-misc/util-macros it runs ok
Code:

#  emerge -t x11-misc/util-macros
>>> --tree implies --pretend... adding --pretend to options.

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] x11-misc/util-macros-1.1.0
[ebuild  N    ]  x11-apps/mkfontdir-1.0.2  USE="X -debug"
[ebuild  N    ]   x11-apps/mkfontscale-1.0.1  USE="X -debug"
[ebuild  N    ]    x11-libs/libX11-1.0.3  USE="X ipv6 -debug"

[ebuild  N    ]     x11-proto/xf86bigfontproto-1.1.2  USE="X -debug"

[ebuild  N    ]     x11-proto/kbproto-1.0.3  USE="X -debug"


before this I saw:
Code:

#  emerge -tp xorg-x11

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

[ebuild  N    ]     x11-apps/mkfontdir-1.0.2  USE="X -debug"
[ebuild  N    ]      x11-apps/mkfontscale-1.0.1  USE="X -debug"


It seems that x11-libs/libX11 is installed in the first emerge 'util-macros' before mkfontscale
and when emerging xorg-x11 after mkfontscale.

My migration to modular X is running again.
I hope this is also a solution for the other people in this topic
