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)
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.
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
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.
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.
Fixed in r25117.
