[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#713661: mensis: FTBFS: ld: freetype.o: undefined reference to symbol 'FT_New_Face'

[David Suárez]

Source: mensis
Version: 0.0.080507-3
Severity: serious
Tags: jessie sid
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: qa-ftbfs-20130620 qa-ftbfs
Justification: FTBFS on amd64

Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build on
amd64.

Maybe you need to add explicitly the offending lib to LD flags.

Relevant part:
