mpsuzuki et al,

I've just tried to build freetype2 from CVS and I cannot. :(

I'm using Mac OS X 10.4.8 and Xcode 2.4.1 (gcc 4.0.1) on a G5.  '/usr/
bin/make' points to 'gnumake' and 'gnumake --version' reports 'GNU Make 3.80'.

I have done exactly the following:

mkdir -p ~/Desktop/freetype2/CVS
cd ~/Desktop/freetype2/CVS
cvs -d:pserver:address@hidden:/sources/freetype login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:address@hidden:/sources/freetype
co -P freetype2
cd ~/Desktop/freetype2/CVS/freetype2
chmod 777 configure
./configure

And it reports:

----
FreeType build system -- automatic system detection

The following settings are used:

  platform                    unix
  compiler                    cc
  configuration directory     ./builds/unix
  configuration rules         ./builds/unix/unix.mk

If this does not correspond to your system or settings please remove the file
`config.mk' from this directory then read the INSTALL file for help.

Otherwise, simply type `make' again to build the library,
or `make refdoc' to build the API reference (the latter needs python).

Generating modules list in ./objs/ftmodule.h...

done.
cd builds/unix; ./configure
/bin/sh: line 1: ./configure: No such file or directory
make: *** [setup] Error 127

Indeed, ~/Desktop/freetype2/CVS/freetype2/builds/unix/configure does not
exist.

So then I tried:

sh ./autogen.sh

and it reports:

----
generating `configure.ac'
running `aclocal -I . --force'
aclocal: unrecognized option -- `--force'
Try `aclocal --help' for more information.
error while running `aclocal -I . --force'

Can some please explain how I build freetype2?

Thanks,
