Bugzilla Bug 61694

If you want to compile fox-1.2.6-r1 and have the flag USE="freetype" set, you
get the following error in the file config.log:

configure:7117: checking for X11/Xft/Xft.h
configure:7127: gcc -E  conftest.c >/dev/null 2>conftest.out
In file included from /usr/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h:41,
                 from configure:7123:
/usr/include/ft2build.h:55:38: freetype/config/ftheader.h: No such file or
directory
In file included from configure:7123:
/usr/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h:42:10: #include expects "FILENAME" or <FILENAME>
configure: failed program was:
#line 7122 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
#include <X11/Xft/Xft.h>

So freetype will be completely disabled, an you'll get no anti-aliased fonts.
It  seems that the path to /usr/include/freetype2/ is missing in the
include-path of the compile-statement.

I'm currently using media-libs/freetype-2.1.5-r1.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="freetype" emerge fox
2.
3.

Me too...

I can't reproduce your problem, ebuild works fine here.
I'll try on another machine and see what happens...

Nope, tried this on three different machines, worked on all...

I notice that the configure scripts check for xft2 (not freetype) which is part of the xfree package. Are you by any chance using xorg-x11 instead of xfree?

mmm.. I'll try out xorg-x11 6.8.0 myself when it is marked stable on x86...

Installed xorg-x11 6.8.0 on my machine, now I can reproduce the problem...

OK, fixed revision sit in Portage...
