If someone wants to help with a better compile of GD that statically includes freetype I would welcome the help. GD is a pain to build and I haven't yet been able to work out why freetype won't link in properly. You're right that we should probably set a dependency on libfreetype. -- andyg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ andyg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46491 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
