Re: [ft] Question: linker errors when building freetype for iOS in Xcode

[Jeffrey Sheen]

`./configure` and `./builds/unix/configure.ac` are identical in my post-`autogen.sh` git copy and my 2.5.3 archive copy of the source code (except for a handful of minor changes to letter casing in `configure.ac`). Are there any other critical files that I can `diff`?

Is it not the case that the error message saying that it does not understand the macro name `AC_INIT`?

/Volumes/DATA/filestore/development/c/libs/freetype2/git/freetype2/builds/unix/configure: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/Volumes/DATA/filestore/development/c/libs/freetype2/git/freetype2/builds/unix/configure: line 1: `m4trace:configure.ac:14: -1- AC_INIT([FreeType], [2.5.3], [address@hidden], [freetype])'
make: *** [setup] Error 2

Could this be because a file is missing? Where does autoconf resolve these macro lookups from?

config.mk:25: /Volumes/DATA/filestore/development/c/libs/freetype2/git/freetype2/builds/unix/unix-def.mk: No such file or directory
config.mk:26: /Volumes/DATA/filestore/development/c/libs/freetype2/git/freetype2/builds/unix/unix-cc.mk: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `/Volumes/DATA/filestore/development/c/libs/freetype2/git/freetype2/builds/unix/unix-cc.mk'.  Stop.

 `unix-def.mk` does not exist, and neither does `unix-cc.mk` in my git source code, but then they do not in the archive source code either. Are they supposed to be generated temporarily by `autoconf` and then deleted? There are similarly named files in both copies of the `unix` directory.

Thanks Werner, I'm going to try one more thing before burdening you.

I only migrated from the 2.5.3 archive copy of the source code, as there was a bug fix in the git repository. The `configure` command was working correctly for OSX in that archive.

Who built that `configure` script for the archive, and did they use OSX? I'm going to `diff` the two files and see if there are any substantive differences.

No.  Note that `have to' is probably not correct, but it has
simplified my life in the last few years...

Well, I'm out of ideas.  Please do the following within FreeType's git
repository

  git clean -fdx
  ./autogen.sh &> autogen.sh.log
  ./configure &> configure.log

and send me privately the files `autogen.sh.log', `configure.log', and
`builds/unix/config.log' (compressed) so that I can have a closer
look.
