Hello, I fixed one bug in my arguments to configure but it didn't save the day. My cross-compiled "freetype-config" was giving out absolute paths, so I have created a script "freetype-config2" that calls "freetype-config --prefix=/myrootforfreetype/usr". When this script is used, it gives out the correct dirs etc. However, I seem to have gotten stuck on an issue with libtool: http://lists.debian.org/debian-embedded/2005/09/msg00030.html How can I override the libtool being used (by fontconfig)?
