Description Reuben Martin 2013-02-27 00:16:51 UTC
The newer ebuild of freetype places it's include files under the /usr/lib/freetype2/include path.

The problem is that the header file ft2build.h includes another of it's own headers located in a relative path:

#include <freetype/config/ftheader.h>

However this include file is located in freeetype2/freetype/config/ftheader.h causing builds using ft2build.h to fail.

The ebuild either needs to change the path the files are installed to, or add a soft-link. (I'm not sure if the ebuild, or the include file itself is at fault here)

Reproducible: Always
