Re: [Freetype] linking libz.a - problems building freetype2 on solaris 7

[Paul Tregoing]

Problem (sort of) solved: I removed support for compressed font files by 
commenting out the following lines from 
freetype/include/freetype/config/ftoption.h

/* #define FT_CONFIG_OPTION_USE_LZW */
/* #define FT_CONFIG_OPTION_USE_ZLIB */
/* #define  FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SYSTEM_ZLIB */

I know its not a fix per se, but since I don't need support for 
compressed font files on this system I'm not going to worry about it :)
