Package: afterstep
Version: 2.2.12-12
Severity: serious
Tags: patch ftbfs
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)
Dear Maintainer,
Bug is actually against the latest Debian maintainer patch (patch#57)
by Robert Luberda , 30-Aug, 2018; which causes a FTBFS:
Issue 1: (FTBFS) due to an extraneous, "@TTF_CFLAGS@" variable
appended to line 107 ("NCS_EXTRA=...") of libAfterImage/Makefile.in, which
is unreplaced in the generated Makefile, causing compile failure.
Issue 2: The purpose of patch#57 was to remove the now-depreciated (and
now non-existing) "freetype-config" function once used to configure
truetype fonts, and instead use pkg-config. Problem is that the patch
properly removes it from configure.in, but NOT from configure itself
causing "--with-ttf" to no longer work (effectively always "no").
I simply untacked the latest source package v2.2.12-12 from Debian Testing
(http://ftp.gr.debian.org/debian/) on March 25, 2019, ran:
./configure
make
and it fails to compile;
...
gcc -O3 -DNO_DEBUG_OUTPUT -fPIC -c xwrap.c
/bin/rm -f libAfterBase.a
ar clq libAfterBase.a ashash.o aslist.o asvector.o audit.o fs.o layout.o

make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/pristine/afterstep-2.2.12/libAfterImage'

I was successful in building afterstep after applying the following patch
I created to correct both these issues, please consider, and edit as
necessary for a new "patch#58" to resolve these two issues.
Thanks,
Jim Turner
