Bug 59307 – Porting: media-libs/fontconfig-2.2.3

• Status: VERIFIED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Robin Munn 2004-08-03 13:22:49 UTC]

I added the macos keyword media-libs/fontconfig-2.2.3 and tried to compile it; the configure process complained that freetype was missing:

.
.
.
checking for getopt_long... yes
checking for freetype-config... no
configure: error: You must have freetype installed; see http://www.freetype.org/


I have gentoo-macos-20040726; its package.provided list contains "media-libs/freetype-2.1.4". But apparently Apple's installation of freetype doesn't include a freetype-config script.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -av fontconfig
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Install fails due to absence of freetype-config script.

Expected Results:  
Configure needs to find a freetype-config script; maybe we should give it one.
On macos only, supply a freetype-config script in the ebuild that specifies the
location of the freetype install on OS X. Either that, or bug Apple to include a
freetype-config program in their default install...

actually the macos version of freetype does include freetype-config it's just installed in /usr/X11R6/bin which i am guessing isnt in the path used by emerge.

if we add --with-freetype-config=/usr/X11R6/bin/freetype-config to the configure section it fixes it.
we would have to do an ARCH check to make it portable but it should work fine.
