Subject: Freetype includes not found

Platform: GNU/Linux/i386
grass obtained from: CVS
grass binary for platform: Compiled from Sources
GRASS Version: 5.3-cvs 20040502

Hi,

I just compiled 5.3-cvs from yesterday and I couldn't convince configure to find
the freetype includes. The include path was set

--with-freetype-includes=/usr/include/freetype2

The error message is

checking whether to use FreeType... yes
checking for location of FreeType includes... /usr/include/freetype2
checking for freetype/freetype.h... no
configure: error: *** Unable to locate FreeType includes.

Development files of freetype are installed and "/usr/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h"
exists.

My system is a debian/sid snapshot from february and freetype is 2.1.7-2.deb
p.s. shouldn't be in the bug report section "Type of report:" 5.3 as well?

Check the config.log file for any relevant error messages.

If the error is the following:

/usr/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h:20:2: #error "`ft2build.h' hasn't
been included yet!"
/usr/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h:21:2: #error "Please always use macros
to include FreeType header files."
/usr/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h:22:2: #error "Example:"
/usr/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h:23:2: #error "  #include <ft2build.h>"
/usr/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h:24:2: #error "  #include FT_FREETYPE_H"
then you will need to use a different (older) version of FreeType, or
modify the FreeType headers yourself.

In their wisdom (or lack thereof), the FreeType developers have
decided to insist on the use a specific idiom for the use of FreeType
headers; one which doesn't work with autoconf's header checks.

Yes, on Debian[testing/unstable] you need to either modify the 
#include statements in src/display/d.text.freetype/main.c  as outlined 
in above error, and then run gmake53 & gmakelinks53 by hand in the 
d.text.freetype source directory.

Then it works fine.

See the Debian "grass" source package diff (5.0.3) for a more correct 
patch.
  http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/grass/grass_5.0.3-3.diff.gz


As this is apparently the way of the future for freetype, perhaps
someone can think of a better solution within the build system/main.c 
for the long term. We're probably not alone in hitting this...

Thats it. It's not important for me at the moment, so I don't fiddle
about with older versions.


Cheers
