pkgsrc/x11/gtk2 is failing to build on standard NetBSD/i386 1.6.1_STABLE
with standard LOCALBASE (/usr/pkg). (This system was always standard.)

configure failed with:

checking for freetype-config...
/usr/pkg/tmp/pkgsrc/x11/gtk2/work.rainier/.buildlink/bin/freetype-config
checking For sufficiently new FreeType (at least 2.0.1)... yes
...
configure: error: *** libX11 not found. Check 'config.log' for more
details.

This is from config.log:

I read this is caused by old freetype2 being available.

freetype2-2.1.5     Font rendering engine and library API
freetype-lib-1.3.1nb1 TrueType font rendering engine and library API

It is defined in my /usr/pkg/include/freetype2/freetype/ftbdf.h

But I have this buildlinked:

 384580      0 lrwxr-xr-x    1 reed     wheel           45 Feb  4 19:58
work.rainier/.buildlink//include/freetype2/freetype/ftbdf.h ->
/usr/X11R6/include/freetype2/freetype/ftbdf.h

It is not defined in /usr/X11R6/include/freetype2/freetype/ftbdf.h. I
assume that file was as installed from one of the X sets (not pkgsrc).


rainier:/usr/pkgsrc/x11/gtk2$ make show-var VARNAME=_NEED_FREETYPE2
NO
rainier:/usr/pkgsrc/x11/gtk2$ make show-var VARNAME=_FREETYPE_VERSION
2.1.0
rainier:/usr/pkgsrc/x11/gtk2$ make show-var VARNAME=_FREETYPE_DEPENDS
freetype2>=2.0.9

So I tried to set

BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.freetype2?=   freetype2>=2.0.1

in my x11/gtk2/Makefile, but no change. I am trying to figure out where
the 2.0.9 is defined.

Then I tried to change it in ../../graphics/freetype2/buildlink2.mk but
still get:

$ make show-var VARNAME=BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.freetype2
freetype2>=2.0.9

Does anyone know where this 2.0.9 comes from and why it overrides my
settings?
