Re: [ft-devel] Help cross-compiling SDL_ttf-2.0.9 for ARM (VER 2)

[mpsuzuki]

I think your question is not about FreeType,
it's a question about cross compiling (of SDL_ttf).
I think your FreeType could have been built correctly
but you are trying to use it by wrong method.

I want to ask who told you a wrong method of
cross building. Even when you can solve this problem
to build SDL_ttf, you will confront another problem soon,
by the wrong cross compiling method that you were told.

This is already different from popular GNU tools cross
building by using --build=xxx & --host=yyy. Who told you
such?

This is different from what docs/INSTALL.CROSS tells.

Your target line is executed when host is set to
"*-*-cygwin*" or "*-*-mingw32". So your modification
has no effect if you set host to armv5l-linux,
I think.

if "--with-freetype-prefix" is set correctly,
configure of SDL_ttf will find freetype-config
in the directory and set CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS, LDFLAGS
and LIBS automatically. Why you set them manually?

And, the values you set are wrong. Compare them with
the values freetype-config returns.
