Is there anyway to have both freetype1 and 2 live peacefully on the same system?
It would be difficult. You would have to make sure that whenever you compile a piece of code using freetype2 which will use
#include <freetype/freetype.h>
you have -I/sw/lib/freetype2/include/freetype2 *before* -I/sw/include on your compiler line. Since -I/sw/include is put there by a lot of *-config scripts, this is a non-trivial task. On a system where you store all self-installed things in the default location /usr/local, it would be completely impossible.
This is a pity, because freetype1 and freetype2 have absolutely nothing in common except this one unfortunate header file which, incidentally, is also the entry point for the whole freetype1/2 API, so it has to be included always.
Actually, newer version of freetype2, from 2.1.7 on, have the following code in all their header files that include freetype.h:
#ifdef FREETYPE_H #error "freetype.h of FreeType 1 has been loaded!" #error "Please fix the directory search order for header files" #error "so that freetype.h of FreeType 2 is found first." #endif
So they are aware of the problem, but they leave the burden of handling it on the user/porter/coder instead of fixing it.
