Hello BLFSers,
I came across a minor muddy point whilst building Fontconfig-2.10.1.
The required dependencies are listed as " FreeType-2.4.10 and either
expat-2.1.0 or libxml2-2.9.0 ." If, however, I attempt to generate the
makefile using:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--localstatedir=/var \
--docdir=/usr/share/doc/fontconfig-2.10.1 \
--disable-docs \
--disable-static
I receive an error that expat is not available.
For newbies like myself, it might be helpful to include in the section
labelled "Command Explanations" that if the "or" dependency is
satisfied with libxml, then the flag "--enable-libxml2" should be
appended to the end of the configure command, i.e.:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--localstatedir=/var \
--docdir=/usr/share/doc/fontconfig-2.10.1 \
--disable-docs \
--disable-static \
--enable-libxml2
Just a Suggestion From a First-Timer,
MBW
