After 4 years on Ubuntu, I am now using Fedora15, but had trouble building both git and the daily tar ball from http://gimptest.flamingtext.com
The files libcairo.la and libfreetype.la are not included in the rpms that fedora use and the autogen.sh failed because it couldn't find those la files. This reference; http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Devel_Packages says they are no longer included, and yhis can be confirmed with an rpm query. I also found the same with suse-11.4, but can't find their build guidelines The builds I did on Ubuntu-11.04 had no problems and taking libfreetype.la from that and libcairo.la from a source build and placing into fedora's /usr/lib/ directory fixed my immediate problem. I am pretty sure this is all my problem, but wonder if the .la files are really needed if fedora (and suse?) are no longer packaging them?
