Thanks fr the reply. I managed to compile but now have a link problem…. Below is that part of the build that fails. It appears that ../src/.libs/libfontconfig.so is lacking but Binary file ./fontconfig/src/.libs/libfontconfig.so.1.11.0 matches And is good to go. I have seen this issue reported from the web but with no clear solution provided.
