Thanks for the tip Werner.. i checked out the rules.mk file and the line for ftsynth.c was missing. i recompiled freetype (the version i'd been having is 2.1.10) and installed it. gtkboard compilatin has succeeded and i have installed that also. But one more query.. what about other libraries which may possibly need FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden i have aleady installed? for eg. libXft during compile had shown FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden absent. Do i need to compile libXft again?
