-The configuration files (fonts.conf, fonts.dtd) go in a new directory
-/etc/fonts, the install step doesn't current create this directory or copy
-the config files.
+Fontconfig is built with the traditional configure script:
+
+ $ ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
+
+This should generate valid Makefiles, then:
+
+ $ make
+ $ make install
+
