Package ... was not found in the pkg-config search path.

Hi. I want to take maintainership of editors/gobby and while checking it's dependency list, i found out that there are a package(s) that are new dependencies, I don't know why editors/gobby include these dependencies in it's DEPENDS list at the first place. I wanted to port them too but I am having the error below. I think that gobby/libinfinity generates more than one packages and some of them are new dependencies of editors/gobby.

These are packages that gobby/libinfinity expected to built.

libinfinity: Library implementing the core infinote part
infinoted: Simple stand-alone infinote server application
libinfgtk: Provides glib main loop integration and GTK+ widgets related to libinfinity
libinftext: Infinote plugin implementing real-time collaborative text editing
libinftextgtk: Implements the InfTextBuffer interface with a GtkTextBuffer as backend
libinfinoted-plugin-manager: Provides an interface to infinoted for plugins.

And this is the build error im having.
