Oh oh. Looks like the times of "easy building" of ttfautohint are
gone :(
It now requires a huge Qt library. I don't mind the ability to have
a GUI tool but to require Qt in order to build a simple commandline
app is somewhat of an overkill, especially if one wants to deploy
the tool on a GUI-less server. I'd greatly appreciate an ability to
build without the Qt dependancy.
Will do.
Also the build process seems to have added complication. I used to
be able to build ttfautohint on Mac OS X as either a 32-bit Intel or
a 64-bit Intel commandline app. Now calling:
$ ./configure --with-freetype-config=`pwd`/../out/bin/freetype-config
--prefix=`pwd`/../out \
CFLAGS="-Os -arch i386"
no longer is sufficient because the Qt flags seem to insist on
x86_64, and I don't yet know how to work around it.
This is something I have to ask on a Qt forum.
But even if I decide to build x86_64, the new "bootstrap" stuff adds
even more complication to the mix. I downloaded the most recent
libtool and installed it (bootstrap insisted on it), and now
bootstrap pulls some "gnulib" stuff, which then seems to conflict
with the headers that come pre-installed on my Mac OS X. See below.
This shouldn't happen. Probably a bug. I'll report it to the gnulib
people.
Thanks for testing!
