I just re-saved my .jucer file and now my project won’t build on Linux (Ubuntu 16.04)

I get the following error:

```auto
../../../../modules/juce/modules/juce_graphics/juce_graphics.cpp:98:24: fatal error: ft2build.h: No such file or directory
   #include <ft2build.h>
                        ^
compilation terminated.

```

`ft2build.h` is on my system. The Projucer still builds, but my project doesn’t. Very odd, any ideas?

Could you please build with `V=1 make` and share the compiler command-line?

Found the issue, I had some stuff in `pkg-config libraries` that wasn’t supposed to be there. Not sure what that has to do with finding headers?

Calling

```auto
$(shell pkg-config --cflags <libraries>)

```

returns compiler flags needed to use these libraries, including `-I` flags for finding headers.

If `pkg-config` fails because of “stuff […] that wasn’t supposed to be there”, then it will return an empty string and the compiler will be missing some important flags.
