>Description:
fontforge fails to build:
In file included from freetype.c:28:0:
fffreetype.h:35:31: fatal error: ftttdrv.h: No such file or directory
# include FT_TRUETYPE_DRIVER_H
^
This appears to be because the freetype2 in native X comes with
ftttdrv.h but doesn't, for some reason (probably oversight), actually
install it. This is a bug in native X (I assume) but we probably need
to work around it in pkgsrc, especially since it looks like it affects
-7. (-7's native X does not install ftttdrv.h, and the contents of
dist/ in xsrc do include ftttdrv.h, but it's not absolutely certain
without testing that the version of freetype will prompt fontforge to
try to use it.)
>How-To-Repeat:
make
>Fix:
dunno, probably a hack based on checking for NetBSD 7.x, native X, and
the nonexistence of the file is sufficient.
It would be helpful to get a firm confirmation on whether -7 is
affected... and also if -6 is affected.
And also, if there's any reason ftttdrv.h has been left off on purpose.
Once a pkgsrc workaround is in place, change the category to "xsrc"
and the synopsis to "native X11 freetype doesn't install ftttdrv.h",
and lower the severity. While I could file a separate PR for xsrc it
doesn't seem worthwhile.
