No, it's not. At least the Debian/Ubuntu/Mint-ish distros depend on pkg-config.
I'm pretty shure the
same is true for Redhat/Fedora/Centos do so as well, and, at least according to the SuSE
RPM guide they
expect pkg-config as well (after all, it is the standard established byfreedesktop.org).
As far as I remember the pkgconf developers suggest to create a symlink linking pkgconf to
pkg-config
(IMHO a replacement tool shoud do this as a default).

I seem to have both pkgconf and pkg-config, and on Archlinux both
are even provided by the same package.
I used pkgconf as suggested by an Archlinux packager. Don't know
if this is the best choice to support other distros. That is what pkgconf --cflags freetype2 is
supposed to do.
Could you be using an older version of freetype ? It used to have its
own config command which was removed and replaced by using pkgconf
in recent releases. This was one of the reasons to review all of
the Makefiles.
Hmm - are you shure that program is called 'pkgconf'? If we are talking about
that freedesktop.org
program (https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/pkg-config/) that tends to be called
'pkg-config' ... Anyway, all that is required is
-I/usr/include/freetype2 and maybe
that is what I should use. Comments invited.
Please don't. IIRC correctly there was a time when I needed to compile aoelus et al.
with a self-compiled/installed
freetype (living under /usr/local). With that pkg-config invocation everything works as
expected (as long
as I keep my PKG_CONFIG_PATH correct). With your hard-coded values I'd need to patch
the Makefiles.

The whole issue in the case of freetype is rather
strange anyway.
None of my application explicitly link with the freetype library.
The -I is necessary only to satisify a nested #include in
/usr/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h required by clxlient.h.
