Martin,

I have been trying to update some packages in my Fink installation
(Scribus in particular) and have continued to run up against the
problems with installing freetype2.1.9 that we discussed a couple of
months ago. See the attached message for below.

I did a bit more research and found the problem documented at the
following web page:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=4151676

Following this approach, I tried to run the installation manually. The
steps I took are outlined below:
- ---

/sw/src/freetype219-2.1.9-1/freetype-2.1.9/builds/unix kevin$  sudo
./configure --prefix=/sw/lib/freetype219

/sw/src/freetype219-2.1.9-1/freetype-2.1.9 kevin$ sudo make

~          /usr/bin/install -c -m 644
~      \
~            $P /sw/lib/freetype219/include/freetype2/freetype/cache ; \
~        done
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./builds/unix/ft2unix.h \
~          /sw/lib/freetype219/include/ft2build.h
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./builds/unix/ftconfig.h \
~          /sw/lib/freetype219/include/freetype2/freetype/config/ftconfig.h
/usr/bin/install -c -m 755 ./builds/unix/freetype-config \
~          /sw/lib/freetype219/bin/freetype-config
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./builds/unix/freetype2.m4 \
~          /sw/lib/freetype219/share/aclocal/freetype2.m4
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./builds/unix/freetype2.pc \
~          /sw/lib/freetype219/lib/pkgconfig/freetype2.pc

- ---

It appears I installed the freetype bits somewhere, but I'm not sure if
it's the right directory: Fink Commander does not show them as being
installed.

I have two questions about this:

1. Is it possible to see above what I'm doing wrong? For instance, did I
specify the correct prefix in configure?

2. It seems, based on the link above, that I'm not the only person who's
experienced this problem installing freetype 2 from source. Should I
file a bug report somewhere?

Thanks.


Cheers,

| Could you look where the libtool file was created. It should be in
| /sw/src/freetype2-2.1.3-22/freetype-2.1.3/builds/unix/

| This is strange, too. It means that it does not see the file
| $(TOP_DIR)/builds/unix/unix-def.mk where TOP_DIR is ".", whereas it just
| before saw ./builds/unix/unix.mk in the same way.

|
|
| Same problem here.
|
| It seems like your "make" is not behaving as expected. Do you have some
| unusual make in /usr/local/bin or in /opt/local/bin? What do you get
| from "make --version"?
