Description ¶
The latest version of Freetype2 (2.5.1) changed the location of its headers to ${prefix}/include/freetype2. One effect of this is that libXft won't compile, as it is not able to find the Freetype headers. I found a patch for this here - http://trac.macports.org/ticket/41578 - then turned it into a standard {B,}LFS style patch.

Chris, I am having trouble with the patch. It is giving me a html, not a text file. Anyway, I have downloaded the original, from the URL you gave and it works (IIRC, as I have done many things today). Perhaps the best thing will be to fix each package individually. If I do so, I will add the patch with your name as who submitted. Thanks, again.

Correction: I did copy/paste to an editor form here, not from the original site.

I don't know what you mean about the patch being html - did you click "Original format" while viewing the patch?

I was trying to download :-( Thanks for the report and for the patch. Just to be sure: You are the same Chris Staub, right (to get the right name in the patch).

Fixed at r12304.
Thanks, Chris.
Thanks, Chris. Confirmed.
I have fixed freetype with a symlink, instead.
However, I am investigating other issue with xulrunner, that I could not yet fix, so I will come back to this as soon as I have good or bad news.
Please, see discussion in -dev list's thread [blfs-dev] xulrunner-25.0.1 fails to compiled, there could be complaint if we discuss further here.
