Re: [ft-devel] FreeType 2.3.8 released

[mpsuzuki]

Hi,

Before all, thank you for report. Could you describe more detail
on your "multilib"? The compiler's pathname x86_64-slamd64-linux-gcc
looks like as if it is cross-building (on i386 machine), but other
pathnames (e.g. /usr/lib, etc) look like as if it is native-building.

Yes, you are right, "in this case". I think there are various
manners to separate i386 & amd64 libraries in the systems
# Debian GNU/Linux on amd64 puts libX11.so to /usr/lib, and
# /usr/lib64 is a symbolic to /usr/lib. /usr/lib32 is a symbolic
# link to /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib.
so I think writing hardwired rules in graph/x11/rules.mk is not
so flexible. Maybe, let freetype-x.y.z/configure to search would
be better.

I'm interested in the improvement of FreeType2 configure to do
such, but I want to collect possible manners of library locations
for multilib development, before start the working. Please let
me know the detail of your case.
