23.0.60; Problems with Apple's libXft and configure

[Peter Dyballa]

Hello!

I filed a bug report that Apple's libXft in Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)  
makes GNU Emacs 23.0.60 crash when compiled with font-backend enabled  
and in use when launching. Now I am trying to deliver more detailed  
information to Apple, but configure somehow fails to create useful  
Makefiles.

One problem libfreetype from Apple in X11 has, that it does not  
understand FC_WIDTH and FC_WEIGHT_REGULAR which are not defined in  
their set of C header files. So I need to use libfreetype 2.19 from a  
"parallel" installation with Fink. Somehow I can't configure for a  
GNU Emacs that uses most of the X libraries from Apple's X11 and uses  
libfreetype and libfontconfig2 from Fink:

I'm not using libotf, libXaw3d, or GTK2 because all installed via  
Fink, so non-Apple. When these are used, then libfontconfig2 and  
libfreetype come from Fink. At daylight I'll try to see what happens  
when I remove GIF, JPEG, PNG, and TIFF support, and whether all is  
right when I simply add libotf support ...
