[Devel] freetype compiling instructions with system zlib

[Alexander E. Patrakov]

Hello,

I tried to build freetype-2.1.3 on Linux with FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SYSTEM_ZLIB
enabled. The resulting library does not show libz.so in the ldd output. And it 
is supposed (at least by XFree86 4.2.1) that shared libraries should pull 
their dependencies in (and such libraries as qt and gtk+ do so; almost every 
shared library lists something nontrivial in ldd output). So I consider the 
absence of libz.so in the ldd output to be wrong.

Please mail me directly (address@hidden) detailed instructions on rebuilding 
freetype with FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SYSTEM_ZLIB in the way when it pulls libz.so 
in, instead of requiring the applications to specify -lz when linking.
