Nope, most graphical programs won't start at all, including GDM :-)
This is mostly due to linking problems to functions that disappeared.
If you want safely test the current CVS, you'll need to install
with something like:
export OPT=/freetype-test # don't use /usr or /usr/local !!
mkdir $OPT
cvs co freetype2
cd freetype2
sh autogen.sh --prefix=$OPT --disable-static
make
make install
export PATH=$OPT/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$OPT/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
now launch your programs, e.g.
gnome-font-properties &
gedit &
firefox &
on some distributions, calling "firefox" will ignore
the new LD_LIBRARY_PATH (because what is invoked is a
rather complex script that sets the environment in weird
ways).
If the programs still don't launch, try to recompile
and reinstall the following:
fontconfig-2.3.92 (with the attached patch applied)
pango-1.11.1
glib-2.9.1 (required by Pango)
that should do it, at least for Gnome programs. Add a
recent version of Cairo if you're using Gnome >= 2.12
NOTE: You must have $OPT/bin and $OPT/lib at the front
of your PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables when
compiling these packages, also, you must do
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$OPT/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
before compiling them.
Hope this helps,
- David
