Description Jan Kretschmer 2009-01-28 18:53:31 UTC
When downloading the Freetype-tar.bz2 it trys the URL http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/freetype/freetype-.tar.bz2.
So I think, it doesn't get the information about which version he should build.

Please post your .config (Or atleast the BR2_FREETYPE_* part)
Comment 2 Jan Kretschmer 2009-01-28 19:51:09 UTC
Hm, I'm confused - I see, that I've never chosen freetype to be build
Therefore my .config says:

# BR2_PACKAGE_FONTCONFIG is not set
# BR2_PACKAGE_FREETYPE is not set
# BR2_FREETYPE_VERSION_2_2_1 is not set
# BR2_FREETYPE_VERSION_2_3_7 is not set

But why does it build freetype - trying to do so, is better to say :D
I already took a clean svn-tree to avoid false errors.
Comment 3 Peter Korsgaard 2009-01-28 20:05:52 UTC
This normally happens because a package depends on freetype, but forgets to select it in Kconfig. From a quick look at packages/ it seems like xpdf is one of those, could it be that you're trying to build xpdf?

If not, please post your entire .config
Comment 4 Jan Kretschmer 2009-01-28 20:50:14 UTC
No, it's not xpdf, but I think I've got it:

It's gamin!
Gamin depends on libgtk2, that needs cairo, that needs fontconfig, that finally needs freetype. :D
Say, if I'm totally wrong, please.
Comment 5 Peter Korsgaard 2009-01-28 21:01:31 UTC
Ah yes, that's it. Looking at gamin.mk it seems pretty broken. It's not a graphical program so it shouldn't depend on libgtk2 (it does look like it needs glib2 though).

I'll take a look at it and commit a fix to svn soon.
