Re: [matplotlib-devel] Developer summit at Scipy?

I think we can be flexible about whether it's before or after the 
conference based on who is coming and their availability.

before or after the week of the conference?

Most likely I will not.

[matplotlib-devel] Freetype config recommendation for installing matplotlib from Source

2014-03-11 Thread Jim Parker 
All,
  I needed to install matplotlib from source along with all dependencies,
and I found a "gotcha" related to how setupext.py discovers freetype2
dependencies.

The default is to use
freetype-config --version

which uses a custom binary provided by freetype to list the version number
and linker dependencies.  Versions 2.4 and 2.5 of freetype use pkg-config
to also provide this information but matplotlib skips it.

setting
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=

or using setup.cfg

basedirlist=

will not fix the problem if your PATH variable points to the
freetype-config binary in your system path first.

If freetype-config is no longer necessary for matplotlib to compile, I
would recommend using  pkg-config to get the linker and compiler flags, so
that typical end-user fixes to paths will work as desired.

BTW, a clean install of freetype.2.5.2 will not compile with matplotlib
without including a soft link
ln -s /freetype2 /freetype

I think this a problem with the freetype package.  They have references to
changes in the structure of their includes in version 2.5.1.

Cheers,
--Jim
