Apparently, freetype-2.1.8 has renamed "ABS", "MAX", and "MIN" to "FT_ABS", "FT_MAX", and "FT_MIN" in the ./include/freetype/internal/ftobjs.h file. This breaks the fontconfig build horribly. It looks like the change was implemented with version 2.1.8, as the original #define names are still intact with version 2.1.7. At first glance, the file that needs to be updated is ./src/fcfreetype.c. After updating that file in two or three places, fontconfig compiles cleanly. Woohoo! It is 2:12am and I have been staring at this for like three hours. I will see if I can generate a patch file tomorrow, but this may not be the most elegant solution -- i.e. hardcoding this change would break builds against old versions of freetype. Perhaps some type of ifdef action is required? Anyways, something to think about fixing in the code. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Win a $20,000 Career Makeover at Yahoo!
