[Freetype] failed at the first hurdle

[Quentin Bennett]

Hi,

I download freetype-2.0.7.tar.gz from one of the FTP mirrors, ungzip'd and
untar'd it, and then....

Is it 

./configure; make; make install

OR

make [setup]; make; make install

I tried option 2:

freetype-2.0.7: make setup

 

FreeType build system -- automatic system detection

 

The following settings are used:

 

  platform                    unix

  compiler                    cc

  configuration directory     ./builds/unix

  configuration rules         ./builds/unix/unix.mk

 

If this does not correspond to your system or settings please remove the
file   
`config.mk' from this directory then read the INSTALL file for help.

 

Otherwise, simply type `make' again to build the library.

 

freetype-2.0.7: make

config.mk:16: builds/unix/unix-def.mk: No such file or directory

config.mk:17: builds/unix/unix-cc.mk: No such file or directory

builds/freetype.mk:203: no file name for `include'

make: *** No rule to make target `builds/unix/unix-cc.mk'.  Stop.

freetype-2.0.7:


Now, there are two things here :

1. It doesn't work - the files included in Makefile do not exist
freetype-2.0.7: ls builds/unix

aclocal.m4          freetype-config.in  install.mk          unix-lcc.mk

config.guess        freetype2.m4        ltmain.sh           unix.mk

config.sub          ft2unix.h           mkinstalldirs       unixddef.mk

configure           ftconfig.in         unix-cc.in

configure.ac        ftsystem.c          unix-def.in

detect.mk           install-sh          unix-dev.mk

freetype-2.0.7:


2. my compiler is not cc:

freetype-2.0.7: which cc

no cc in /usr/bin . /usr/local/bin /usr/openwin/bin /usr/local/mysql/bin
/mercury/home/quentin/bin

freetype-2.0.7: which gcc

/usr/local/bin/gcc


In fact, I have got a cc (Forte developer 5 or 6.2 on Solaris 2.6)

Suggestions (polite ones) please.
