[Fontconfig] fontconfig, Xft, and SPARC/Solaris 7 ???

[Rolf Sponsel]

* Plattform is: SPARC/Solaris 7, gcc-3.2.2, freetype-2.1.2 *

Hi,

This might be a stupid question, but from what
I understod when reading fontconfig.org Xft(2.0)
is now a separate archive/package to fontconfig,
hence I've been searching for it for several hours
now without finding it anywhere, and thus I have
to ask; please, where can I find it?



I've also tried to compile the fontconfig-2.1.94
bundle, unfortunately without any success.

I have freetype-2.1.2 installed and in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH,
i.e. /usr/local/lib/
			libfreetype.a
			libfreetype.la
			libfreetype.so
			libfreetype.so.6
			libfreetype.so.6.3.1
			libfrtbegin.a


./configure	- seems to execute successfully
make		- unfortunately fails with the following
		  error message (see below (1))

		  (if I create a symbolic link
		   named 'freetype' and pointing
		   to 'freetype2/freetype' in
		   /usr/local/include and re-make,
		   then I manage to get further
		   but fail later on with an
		   'ld: fatal: Symbol referencing error ...'
		   ( see below (2))



1). first attempt to compile after running ./configure

host(4)# make

make  all-recursive

Making all in fontconfig

2). when re-making after having created a link named freetype
    pointing to freetype2/freetype in /usr/local/include
    I get this error:

host(4)# make

The reason for all these my needs is that GTK+2.2/Pango
claims fonconfig and Xft being a prerequisite when building,
and I guess I'll be stuck with this until I have overcome this,
my little(?), obstacle.


Thus, any help with this would be highly appreciated.


Kind Regards
