I've got a problem building firefox on a new system. On my normal
development system it builds fine, but using the same procedures on a
brand new build gives:
/usr/src/firefox/firefox/mozilla-release/gfx/skia/trunk/src/ports/SkFontHost_FreeType.cpp:560:
undefined reference to `FT_Get_X11_Font_Format'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
/usr/src/firefox/firefox/mozilla-release/config/rules.mk:812: recipe for
target 'libxul.so' failed
I tried an earlier version of FF (39.0) and got the same error.
I checked the freetype library and got:
$ nm libfreetype.so |grep FT_Get_X11_Font_Format
000000000001e150 T FT_Get_X11_Font_Format
000000000001e150 t FT_Get_X11_Font_Format.localalias.0
So the reference is there. One difference is that the development
system (the one that works) has libfreetype.so.6.12.0 and the new system
has libfreetype.so.6.12.1
There is a reference in google that a change needs to be made to
mozilla/config/system-headers. We have that in seamonkey, but checking
FF, the ftfntfmt.h reference is already present.
I tried copying libfreetype.so.6.12.0 to the new system and resetting
the library symlinks, but the same error came up.
I then tried removing all the .la files. That didn't help.
I also tried seamonkey and got the same error.
Does anyone have an idea of what to try next?
