Hi again all ,
Pray tell, does anyone on here have any problem building on 64 bit Windoze for a 64 bit Windoze target ? I ask because as you may, or may not, remember/know, I have the task of attempting to bring the IBM build system into line with the current jdk8 autoconf based process and whilst doing so, I observed the following fatal error whilst running configure ... . . . checking what is not needed on Windows?... alsa cups pulse x11 checking for Mac OS X Java Framework... no checking for X... no checking for X11/extensions/shape.h... no configure: error: Could not find freetype! You need to build a 64-bit version of freetype. This is not readily available. You can find source code and build instructions on http://www.freetype.org/ If you put the resulting build in "C:\Program Files\GnuWin32", it will be found automatically. configure exiting with result code 1 It seems rather incongruous to me that configure decides that X isn't required and then goes off in search of it ? Can anyone confirm/refute my assertion and indeed observation. If it is indeed a defect, then I will, raise a defect and fix it, if not, then can someone alborate as to what is actually happening.
