[Pkg-octave-devel] Packaging octplot

[Thomas Weber]

Hi, 

a general question: did anybody succeed in building octplot on unstable? 

./configure bails out:
========================================================================
checking for freetype-config... /usr/bin/freetype-config
checking for FreeType -- version >= 9.0.3... no
configure: WARNING:

  The FreeType test program failed to run.  If your system uses
  shared libraries and they are installed outside the normal
  system library path, make sure the variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  (or whatever is appropiate for your system) is correctly set.
         
configure: error: FreeType2 is required to compile this library
========================================================================



The error message in config.log is:
========================================================================
configure:4485: checking for FreeType -- version >= 9.0.3
configure:4571: gcc -o conftest -g -O2  -I/usr/include/freetype2

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

========================================================================


Adding -lXxf86vm to the linker line fixes this, but I don't know enough
about autotools to change this.
