Subject: error when compiling ftfont.c from CVS
Date: Sun, 16 Nov 2008 17:19:57 -0600

I'm using Mac OS X 10.4.11 on a macbook pro.

I had no problems installing GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1
(i686-apple-darwin8.11.1, GTK+ Version 2.6.10)
via fink.

When I passed the same configuration options to the current CVS
version of Emacs, I got the following error
when I ran 'make bootstrap':

Can you share what these configuration options were?

What version of fontconfig do you have installed?

What does `pkg-config --modversion fontconfig' report?

What does the configure script output say about fontconfig?

Sure, here:

./configure --infodir='${prefix}/share/info'
--mandir='${prefix}/share/man' --libexecdir='${prefix}/lib'

It looks like several versions are installed via fink:

2.1.0

(Which suggests perhaps I should remove the system-pkgconfi package and
use the fontconfig2-shl?)

Yes, perhaps. fontconfig 2.2.0 or newer should work.

You don't have a line of the form:

checking for fontconfig >= 2.2.0...

just above the XFT_LIBS part?

It should say "no" if pkg-config reports 2.1.0.

I'll see what I can do with fink to change things around.

No, there's no such line -- here's some context:

checking for xft >= 0.13.0... yes
checking XFT_CFLAGS... -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/X11R6/include/freetype2
checking XFT_LIBS... -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXft -lfreetype -lXrender -lfontconfig
checking X11/Xft/Xft.h usability... yes

I think I see the problem. The configure script has not been
regenerated with some recent changes to the source configure.in.

If you have autoconf >= 2.6.1 installed, running `autoconf' in the
top-level Emacs directory ought to fix it (in the sense that you
should get a successful build without fontconfig). Or you can update
from the repository in a bit.

You still probably want to sort out your fontconfig installation to
get nicer looking fonts in your build.

Does it work now, with an up-to-date copy of configure from CVS?

Note: I did get emacs to compile after running autoconf as you suggested.

Now I'm trying again in the same directory after 'cvs up' (I don't
know if having
previously run autoconf taints the experiment).

First piece of data:

I don't know how you guys are doing things these days, but this might
be a problem:

Merging differences between 1.303 and 1.304 into configure
rcsmerge: warning: conflicts during merge
cvs update: conflicts found in configure
...

./configure --infodir='${prefix}/share/info'
--mandir='${prefix}/share/man' --libexecdir='${prefix}/lib'
./configure: line 641: syntax error near unexpected token `<<<'
./configure: line 641: `<<<<<<< configure'

Second piece of data:

after removing ./configure, updating, and running ./configure again, I
do now get the line

checking for fontconfig >= 2.2.0... no

I assume that means it is going to work.... and yes, make bootstrap worked.

Nothing to worry about, just do what you did:
