Re: [ft-devel] Integrating Docwriter into FreeType

[Nikhil Ramakrishnan]

Ah, here should be

    checking for `docwriter' Python module... no

I missed that.  So the code should be something like

  have_docwriter=no
  (...)

Thanks, changes applied.

Not directly.  The `builds/unix/configure' script creates two files,
`unix-cc.mk' (from `unix-cc.in') and `unix-def.mk' (from
`unix-def.in').  In those files, address@hidden@' gets replaced with `$FOO' as
set up in `configure.ac'.[*] You can thus add a line

  PYTHON := @PYTHON@

to `unix-def.in' (which fits better than `unix-cc.in') to have $PYTHON
available.  Note that you also need to define `$PYTHON' for other
platforms; the simplest thing is probably to add the line

  PYTHON ?= python

at the top of `builds/detect.mk' (`?=' only sets the value if it is
not set already, allowing it to be overridden on the command line).

Thanks, instead of modifying `detect.mk', I've added the line just before

target `refdoc' in `freetype.mk'.
