Yes, if I merely (re)compile libXfont against the upgraded version of freetype and then attempt to compile bdftopcf, that bails with 'undefined reference to ft_isdigit'.
But, in both trunk and the branch, we not only have a patch for libXfont, we also have sed -i 's/(ft_isdigit/(isdigit/' src/FreeType/fttools.c Rebuilding libXfont with that sed allows bdftopcf to compile. So, it looks like there was a problem in the past, but the book already works around it. I'm still not willing to put libxslt into the branch, I don't really know what would test if it is working reliably. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
