Can anybody help with 2. (metapost)?
Werner maybe? :-)

The full problem is discussed here:
https://github.com/fedelibre/flathub/pull/1

It's probably the last issue to solve to get Frescobaldi in Flathub.

Hi folks

As I'm working on building a flatpak of Frescobaldi, I must compile from source all dependencies and bundled applications, including LilyPond (without the documentation).
I have two questions:

1. Ghostscript is not a requirement for building, but it is a requirement for running lilypond. So I'm surprised that ghostscript is treated as an optional program (see beelow).

2. ./configure found mpost but it's complaining about missing metapost CTAN package. Should I be worried about this error? Can I skip the error and see what happens?


This is the output I'm currently getting:


WARNING: Please consider installing optional programs or files: URW++ OTF fonts (download OTF files from 'http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=urw-core35-fonts.git;a=tree;hb=91edd6ece36e84a1c6d63a1cf63a1a6d84bd443a' and put them under '~/.local/share/fonts' etc., or use --with-urwotf-dir) gs gs extractpdfmark (Optionally using Ghostscript >= 9.20 together with Extract PDFmark can significantly reduce the disk space required for building the documentation and the final PDF files.) texi2html dblatex epsf.tex lh CTAN package (texlive-lang-cyrillic or texlive-texmf-fonts) pngtopnm convert rsync
