Building X.org 6.8.2 freetype related question .....

[Mark Carey]

Hi,

Possibly related to bug #2061, https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2061

I am trying to build X.org 6.8.2 and am getting erors related to what
my c experience tells me are missing header files,

rm -f xrender.pc

My system already has freetype installed.......

[root at jersey:/sources]# which freetype-config
/usr/local/bin/freetype-config

[root at jersey:/sources]# freetype-config --cflags
-I/usr/local/include/freetype2 -I/usr/local/include

[root at jersey:/sources]# pkg-config --cflags freetype2
-I/usr/local/include/freetype2

However looking at the above build output (make World after a make
distclean in a lndir'ed directory) it would appear gcc has been
instructed to look for freetype in /usr rather than /usr/local.

My host.def contains

#define HasFreetype2            YES

Why isnt the imake system finding freetype?  Does the build system
assume freetype installed in /usr?

I note that bug 2061 remains open .....

Pointers much appreciated ...
