fox-1.6.32 freetype2 dependency error

[will@…]

When building x11/fox toolkit it has a dependency on freetype. The header files for the current port of freetype is installed in /opt/local/include/freetype. I needed to change the Portfile to include this path:

configure.cppflags-append	"-I${x11prefix}/include -I${prefix}/include/freetype2"

Complete portfile for fox.

The configure script for FOX should automatically add that include path (-I/opt/local/include/freetype2) since we're configuring the build with the "--with-xft" setting. I've just verified that it's working properly by uninstalling and then reinstalling the FOX port.

Will, what do you get when you type "pkg-config --cflags xft" at the command line?

[lyle@…]

Some e-mail communication on this one is taking place outside of the tracker: We have confirmed that "pkg-config --cflags xft" returns the correct info, so now we're waiting to see if that allows FOX to configure itself properly (without modifying the Portfile). Stay tuned...

Final solution was to reinstall ports from scratch. Had to do the following:

rm -rf /opt/local

install port

port install fox

So should we mark this ticket as invalid?

Yes, I think this ticket can be marked as invalid.
