• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Antonisio Prucoli Martins 2010-07-28 19:53:47 UTC]

I tryed install the sdl-ttf and the following exception is thrown:
/usr/include/ft2build.h:56:38: error: freetype/config/ftheader.h

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge media-libs/sdl-ttf
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
After performed the steps above the following exception is thrown:
/usr/include/ft2build.h:56:38: error: freetype/config/ftheader.h

Expected Results:  
The package should be installed instead.

I created a symlink from the /usr/include/freetype2/freetype to /usr/include/freetype with the follow command:

 # ln -s /usr/include/freetype2/freetype /usr/include/freetype

After, I tryed newly and the package was sucessfuly installed.

I belive that this is a known issue.

'freetype-config --cflags' outputs:
-I/usr/include/freetype2
so does 'pkg-config freetype2 --cflags',
so whatever the problem is, you're looking in the wrong direction.

Hello Antonisio,

can you please provide the output of `emerge --info` and attach the complete build.log and environment files mentioned at the end of the failed ebuild?

Thanks, Michael

...also, attach config.log.
