[ft-devel] building xpdf on Solaris x86

[Debra Scott]

I've downloaded the xpdf source package from sourceforge.net along
with the freetype package

in building the freetype project first, I've done:
./configure
make
make install

the latter fails with error:
make: *** [/tmp/freetype-2.3.5/objs/libfreetype.la] Error 1

I've looked in freetype-2.3.5/src/tool/ftrandom and when I try to use 
the Makefile down there, I get the
following error:
make: *** No rule to make target `../../../objs/libfreetype.a', needed 
by `../../../objs/ftrandom'.  Stop.


the "all" target in that Makefile is:
all: $(OBJ_DIR)/ftrandom

$(OBJ_DIR)/ftrandom: $(SRC_DIR)/ftrandom.c $(OBJ_DIR)/libfreetype.a
       $(CC) -o $(OBJ_DIR)/ftrandom $(CFLAGS) $(SRC_DIR)/ftrandom.c $(LIBS)


So I believe the error is in regard to the "libfreetype.a" in the first 
line of the
$(OBJ_DIR)/ftrandom  (before the cc line)


is there a typo? should libfreetype.a be libfreetype.la?
how does it know how to create libfreetype.a or libfreetype.la as there 
are no targets for such
