Thank you for your prompt reply. I have difficulties doing you
instruction, anyhow, actually I have used 7zip and word to analyze the
source code. Below is my findings:
1. the freetype is by default set as yes, but during configuration it
was set to no.
2. I issue additional --enable-freetype, it still go back to no.
3. I could configure it in ubuntu hardy, with libfreetype6-dev installed
4. I compare libfreetype6-dev, almost all files are available in lfs freetype.
5. The script responsible for setting freetype to no is:
if test "$enable_freetype" = "yes"; then
PKG_CHECK_MODULES(FREETYPE, freetype2, FREETYPE="yes", [FREETYPE="no",
AC_MSG_WARN([*** no freetype -- FreeType font provider will not be
built.])])
fi
I found it in configure.in file.
Thank you,
David
