Re: [ft] compilinig ftdemos on mac

[mpsuzuki]

Hi,

It's not bug of ft2demos, it's bug in
freetype2/builds/unix/configure.raw, it is fixed in latest CVS.

# ft2demos/mac/Makefile is either broken since 2006-02-01,
# but I don't have enough sparetime to fix it until 2006-06-18,
# sorry

The configure script in freetype-2.2.1 tries to enable old MacOS
font support always, but it does not add special linker flag to
use Carbon frameworks (this is bug). Due to this inconsistent
configuration, all Carbon functions are complained as "not defined".
I was misunderstanding, there are many MacOS X users who does not
care old MacOS font support. Oops.

I attached a patch to fix this issue (it disables old MacOS font
support by default). Or, use "--with-old-mac-fonts" option to
support old MacOS font.
