While we're trying to actually fix this issue with the help of OIN, the plan that came out of XDC is to take the freetype approach: have configure-time options to enable certain bits of code. These options would be, by default, disabled. I believe S3TC should stay in an external library. It works that way, and is easier for users: just drop the library into your system and be happy. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
