In general, you should be able to use the packages provided by your distribution. On Ubuntu 18.04, the package is named "libfreetype6-dev", and is installed by the following command: $ sudo apt install libfreetype6-dev This will probably be the first package out of a long list. Unfortunately, I do not have a ready-made list of build dependencies for Ubuntu, but someone else on this mailing list could be able to provide it. To whoever has any building dependencies lists: I remain available to publish them on-line on the wiki, if you could kindly send them here. I hope this helps. -- Arrigo http://rigo.altervista.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
