Re: [Devel] Question about build process

[Chris Chabot]

The problem was not anything crashing, but the build envirioment not
recognising the envirioment was not 'ansi' but 'unix'..

once i randomly out of despiration tried :

        make setup unix CFG="--prefix=/usr"

everything worked... configure script was run, full freetype compiled...
presto.

Maybe this is something worth putting in the build faq ?
(if make setup doesnt run the configure script, specify "make setup
unix")

i think it failed cause i tried to compile it on a non standard distro
who's marchtype is set to 'i686-pc-gnu-linux' (which is default if u
build ur own stuff from the gnu toolset)

anyways, thats just speculation ;-)
