Dear Hardy,

This appears because of a problem with pkg-config, or the absence of it.=20
Here is a relevant quote I found with google :

___________
/    When configuring EVAS, why do I see this:/

	checking whether directfb backend is to be built... ./configure: line 92=
43:=20
	   syntax error near unexpected token `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(DIRECTFB,'
	./configure: line 9243: `          PKG_CHECK_MODULES(DIRECTFB, directfb =
>=3D 0.9.16)'

    You don't have pkg-config installed, or setup properly. To correct=20
this, download, build, and install pkg-config=20
<http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/>. If this error still=20
shows up after you install  pkg-config, it is because aclocal isn't=20
finding the pkg.m4 and using it. Make sure that pkg.m4 is in your=20
aclocal share (usually: /usr/local/share/aclocal). If it isn't there,=20
find out whats wrong and get it there. If it is there, re-run=20
./autogen.sh and the new m4 will be used and the problem won't reappear.

But this raises an interesting point : pkg-config is only needed if you=20
want the wxWidgets terminal. So I guess I should add a non-fatal test=20
for pkg-config, and call the PKG_CHECK_MODULES macro only if possible,=20
otherwise disable the wxWidgets termina.
