A perl GD application is returning an error to me stating that libgd is not compiled with freetype support. Currently libgd 1.8.3-r6 and freetype 2.1.2-r2 are installed. When I look at the ebuild for libgd it seems to me that libgd is configured to look for freetype 1.3*. It seems there are a lot of issues with these libraries. Php has similar problems. What can be done to fix this? How can I help? Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
will post update soon
ok, the old version of libgd defaulted to freetype-1.x ... i changed the ebuild so you now have the choice of freetype-1.x or freetype-2.x ...
sooooo if you want freetype-2.x support (the good stuff, YEAH it is), just put global USE flag 'truetype' in your USE var ... buuuuuuuut if you *really* want freetype-1.x support (for some reason), just put the local USE flag 'ttf' in your USE var ... http://cvs.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/gentoo-x86/media-libs/libgd/libgd-1.8.4-r1.ebuild.diff?r1=1.1&r2=1.2
