9.04.1: build issues

[balducci]

Hello,

Apologies if I am missing something evident.

Just built 9.04.1 and found the following problems.

1. There is no local lcms[2] source (it is present in the GPL
   distribution): maybe this has to do with license issues?

2. At make time got:

    --------------8<---------------------
    ./base/gsicc_create.c:117:55: fatal error: icc34.h: No such file or 
directory
    compilation terminated.
    make[1]: *** [obj/gsicc_create_1.o] Error 1
    make[1]: Leaving directory 
`/home/balducci/tmp/install-us-d/gnu-ghostscript/gnu-ghostscript-9.04.1'
    --------------8<---------------------

   This looks related to lcms[2] missing. However, there is a
   .../toolbin/color/icc_creator/ICC_Creator/icc34.h which works.
   I worked around stuffing it into CFLAGS, but may be the build
   process should be fixed for this in some way

3. Then got:

    --------------8<---------------------

    --------------8<---------------------

  Apparently a -lz is missing. I don't know if this is due to some
  misconfiguration on my side (but my libz is in a very standard
  place) or it is something which needs to be fixed in the build
  process.
  For me, stuffing -lz into LIBS works around this problem.

4. Then got:

    --------------8<---------------------
    /usr/bin/ld: ./obj/fapi_ft.o: undefined reference to symbol 
'FT_Matrix_Multiply'
    /usr/bin/ld: note: 'FT_Matrix_Multiply' is defined in DSO 
/usr/lib64/libfreetype.so.6 so try adding it to the linker command line
    /usr/lib64/libfreetype.so.6: could not read symbols: Invalid operation
    collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
    --------------8<---------------------

  DITTO for -lfreetype. Again, appending -lfreetype to LIBS makes the
  build to proceed, but perhaps also this should be fixed in a more
  robust way...


I hope to have been of some use
and I thank you very much for your valuable work

ciao
