Re: [ft-devel] building freetype 2.3.11 on Mac OS X 10.6

[Rowan Wookey]

I can confirm this works. 

I configured as if building for OS X 10.5 as 32 bit, on  OS X 10.6 with the 
default compiler setting at 64 bit.

Here is the new output in the configure script

checking whether CFLAGS and LDFLAGS share -arch i386... no, copy to LDFLAGS
checking whether CFLAGS and LDFLAGS share -isysroot 
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk... no, copy to LDFLAGS

A few notes
1) I had to edit autogen.sh to allow autoconf 2.61 and aclocal 1.10 which are 
the versions supplied with OS X 10.6
2) The patch looks like it has been word wrapped on line 47 to have " .*//'`" 
(without quotes) just move this up to line 46 preserving the space at the 
beginning so line 46 should be:
-    isysroot_dir=`echo ${CFLAGS} | tr '\t' ' ' | sed 's/^.*-isysroot *//;s/ 
.*//'`
3)My CFLAGS were set to CFLAGS="-arch i386 -pipe -Os -isysroot 
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk -mmacosx-version-min=10.5"
4) file libfreetype.6.dylib outputs : "libfreetype.6.dylib: Mach-O dynamically 
linked shared library i386" which is correct.
5) I used the latest development version from git.

Rowan
