Dear Mr. Lemberg:
Quick Question RE FreeType 2.6.1
I obtained the software “FreeType 2.6.1” just a couple of days ago by downloading “freetype-2.6.1.tar.bz2” from “
http://sourceforge.net/projects/freetype/files/” onto my Mac (I’m using OS X “El Capitan,” along with the absolute very latest version of Xcode 7 developer tool package), and I moved the unpacked FreeType2.6.1 directory to my “
/usr/local/” directory. (I should mention at this point that I am about as newbie as you can get about this command line stuff!)
I successfully executed the GNU Linux/Unix command “make” – however, when I then executed the command “make install,” it came up with the following error:
“Make: ./install-sh: No such file or directory”
Apparently a lot of other people are having this problem also. My question to you is this: Is there any simple way for me to somehow “fix” or work around this? Better still, could you please advise me as to when you think that an updated version of FreeType2.6.1 will become available to fix this missing “install-sh” thing? I would greatly appreciate your response because this thing is driving me crazy, and I need to install it in order to use a special application.
Thank you in advance for any insight you can provide. Take care, and good luck with your project endeavours.
Yours very truly,
—Michael Béchard
