Re: [Freetype] Make: no valid name for 'include'

[Tom Kacvinsky]

However nice ldconfig is, not all platforms have it.  It would be nice
if autoconf/libtool scripts were set up to search other areas for
libraries (for instance, /usr/local/lib on Solaris machines), and make
the appropriate -R/-L linker options.

More to the point, some autoconf'd packages already have extra options
that control this, but most do not.  It would be nice if there were
easy ways of compenstating for different platforms linkers search
paths, but automatically, so that autoconf users don't have to add
extra options, and "lazy" autoconf users (note the quotes on lazy)
would have some modicom of linker search path support.

I hope that made sense.  These kinds of things are especially annoying to
me because i have to compile on both Digital and Solaris platforms.
Oh well, at least FT doesn't have this problem. :)
