I’ve noticed that there are a number of checks like this in various
configure.ins:
MY_AC_PATH_PROG(FT_CONFIG, ${ac_tool_prefix}freetype-config, no)
The pkgsrc framework automatically sets the --host option (among other things)
on configure, which causes ac_tool_prefix to be set to something like
x86_64-sun-solaris2.11. The problem is that in this case (and others), there is
no x86_64-sun-solaris2.11-freetype-config, only freetype-config. That causes a
lot of dependencies to be left unfound, which isn’t ideal. I notice that the
check for gcc falls back to gcc, so it’s possible there’s a bug in autoconf
itself.
Would anyone care to offer an opinion as to the proper solution to this
problem? I could create a bunch of symlinks, but that doesn’t seem like the
best way to solve this (though it might be the quickest).
