Motivation for this change

Found nix-env -iA "nixpkgs.mscgen" build was broken because of missing pkg-config dependency. Added it.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Sorry, something went wrong.

Why are there changes in pkgs howdoi? Seems like this should go into a different PR.

My apologies. They were in fact part of #85579 and I screwed up my branching.

Removed these entirely.

bison, pkg-config and flex should go into nativeBuildInputs instead.

Then there is this notice when the tests beeing run

Warning: Optional UTF-8 byte-order-mark detected at start of input, but mscgen
         was not configured to use FreeType for text rendering.  Rendering of
         UTF-8 characters in PNG output may be incorrect.

Since you added freetype you might want to add

configureFlags = [ "--with-freetype" ]

and fix the Error: gdoTextWidth: Problem doing text layout (GDFONTPATH=)
or simply leave freetype out of dependencies.

And the title of this PR should read like "mscgen: <your description>".

And last, i guess. Consider adding outputs = [ "out" "man" ];. This way the man pages are linked correctly.

@siriobalmelli
mscgen: clean up build
3a7dca9 
1. Remove freetype dependency:
    - was not being used by build
    - trying to enable freetype gives nontrivial error
      'gdoTextWidth: Problem doing text layout (GDFONTPATH=)'

2. Correctly link manpages by specifying 'outputs'.

3. Separate nativeBuildInputs from buildInputs

I gave this a shot but no quick win in sight, so removed freetype dependency entirely in 3a7dca9
