ok... take a step forward. i compiled freetype and freetype2 in ~/freetype-1.3.1-sparc-sunos5.8 ~/freetype-2.1.5-sparc-sunos5.8 and moved both to ~/include so two freetype.h in other directories: ~/include/freetype/freetype.h ~/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h Xft wants a Freetype2, but the include is not well-defined: #include <freetype/freetype.h> so I put the ~/include/freetype/ temporary in an other directory to compile xft. but got an other problem. somewhere in a file is a record with the old directory from freetype2: /home/szhbqn/freetype-2.1.5-sparc-sunos5.8/ but in ~/lib/pkgconfig/freetype2.pc is the new value. can an env-variabel solve the problem? wich one? greets Andreas --- LOG --- libtool: link: warning: library `/home/szhbqn/lib/libfontconfig.la' was moved. grep: /home/szhbqn/freetype-2.1.5-sparc-sunos5.8/lib/libfreetype.la: No such file or directory sed: Cannot open file /home/szhbqn/freetype-2.1.5-sparc-sunos5.8/lib/libfreetype.la. libtool: link: `/home/szhbqn/freetype-2.1.5-sparc-sunos5.8/lib/libfreetype.la' is not a valid libtool archive make[1]: *** [libXft.la] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/szhbqn/src/xft-2.1.2' make: *** [all] Error 2 _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
