Okay,
I re-read and followed :) the instructions given by Peter and Ken.
I re-installed freetype2-1.9 (prior to trying to build xorg)
I got the same freetype errors as in my previous post.
I am out of ideas, and I really don't want to start from scratch again if I
don't have too. This is my third attempt at a build of BLFS (my first two
also stalled in this exact spot, but I didn't ask for help then, I just
scrapped them and started completely over from page 1 of LFS).
This is a new machine that I built myself and the crowning achievement would
be to have LFS/BLFS up and running (my distro, my rules kind of thing).
I am hoping that I didn't make a mistake in configuring and installing this
system. I have not deviated from the book at all (except for the raw kernel
thing that I corrected) and everything up to now has built without error or
warning. Here is the error again:
../../../../config/makedepend/makedepend: warning: psout.c
(reading ../../../../extras/freetype2/include/freetype/config/ftconfig.h),
line 82: #error "Unsupported size of `int' type!"
../../../../config/makedepend/makedepend: warning: psout.c
(reading ../../../../extras/freetype2/include/freetype/config/ftconfig.h),
line 91: #error "Unsupported size of `long' type!"
What do those lines (82,91) in the referenced ftconfig.h contain?
And the path reads as if you are using the freetype2 shipped with X
(but I'm not an expert at how the directory maze in X looks during a
normal build, so I could be mistaken) - do you have the line
#define HasFreetype2 YES
in config/cf/host.def ? If it's there, is it effectively commented out
by an unclosed comment above it ? (an editor with syntax highlighting,
such as vim, might help you check).
I also have been building this thing as root, not as user and then switching
to root to 'make install'. Could this be one of my problems? I am no Linux
guru and have only been using Linux for 1 year. There has got to be
something I can do short of scrapping the whole thing and starting over
again.
Building and installing as root is not the problem - it's not a good
thing to do, but on a new system it works. I would prefer not to build
as root once a system is in normal use.
