Summary:	sys-boot/grub-9999 should depend on media-libs/freetype

Description Auke Booij (tulcod) 2009-08-29 15:26:12 UTC

Not having media-libs/freetype causes a configure error since the ebuild forces --enable-grub-mkfont. Emerging it manually fixes the issue, so grub should depend on media-libs/freetype.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Please provide build.log

Comment 2 Auke Booij (tulcod) 2009-08-30 11:18:19 UTC

i'm using paludis, so a build.log is slightly difficult, but it simply outputs this:

...
checking if _end is defined by the compiler... yes
checking whether addr32 must be in the same line as the instruction... yes
checking for .code16 addr32 assembler support... yes
checking whether an absolute indirect call/jump must not be prefixed with an asterisk... no
checking for freetype-config... no
./configure: line 8896: freetype-config: command not found
./configure: line 8897: freetype-config: command not found
configure: error: grub-mkfont was explicitly requested but can't be compiled

!!! ERROR in sys-boot/grub-9999:
!!! In econf at line 2014
!!! econf failed
...

and as said, installing media-libs/freetype fixes this problem.
