So the real issue is that freetype-config does not work with cross compilation? > > The solution is to swap out the freetype-config usage for pkg-config. > That actually makes the code simpler as PKG_CHECK_MODULES happens to > provide the variables exactly in the way tumbler needs them. > > Unfortunately, changes to acinlude.m4 are not considered in the build, > see #870420, so the change isn't that simple. Together with the help of > Unit 193 I've come up with the attached patch. Can you push such patches to the build system directly upstream? I'm not against applying it but I'd rather have the upstream point of view on this before.

Can you apply it? See above :) Regards, -- Yves-Alexis
