Can't build backstep in AUR...

Question

The PKGBUILD seems simple enough:
# Contributor: Mark Rosenstand <[email protected]>
pkgname=backstep
pkgver=0.3
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Icons for minimized windows."
url="http://backstep.sourceforge.net/"
license=""
depends=('gtk2' 'x-server')
makedepends=('gettext' 'intltool' 'pkgconfig')
source=(http://dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/$pkgname/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.bz2)
md5sums=('fb8980b7f59b66f87b0bfdb32c3a9032')
build() {
cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
./configure --prefix=/usr
make || return 1
make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
But I get this error:
configure: error: Package requirements (xcomposite >= 1.0 xfixes xdamage xrender) were not met.
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively you may set the RENDER_CFLAGS and RENDER_LIBS environment variables
to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for
more details.
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
==> ERROR: Build Failed.
Aborting...
I guess I should set the RENDER_CFLAGS and RENDER_LIBS... but set them to what??

Hmm it doesn't seem to be picking up the libs even though I have them all.  If you've installed libxcomposite/libxdamage/libxrender and it still fails for you, add these 2 exports before the configure line:
export RENDER_LIBS="`pkg-config --libs xcomposite xfixes xdamage xrender`"
export RENDER_CFLAGS="`pkg-config --cflags xcomposite xfixes xdamage xrender`"
That's exactly what I needed to do. Thanks.
