Re: [ft] Freetype2 compilation error

[suzuki toshiya]

Hi,

Sorry for your inconvenience. Your quotation seems to be the messages
during the configuration, not during compilation. Do you mean that
the irregular warning like

> checking whether cpp computation of bit length in ftconfig.in works... 
> "./ft2build.h", line 1: 1506-229 (W) File is empty.
> "ftoption.h", line 1: 1506-229 (W) File is empty.
> "ftstdlib.h", line 1: 1506-229 (W) File is empty.
> no

should be fixed? Of course it should be cared (and I will do), but if
you have other troubles during the compilation, please post.

# I guess the background of the warning is the inclusion of the
# empty header files created aslike:
#
# ac_clean_files=
# for f in ft2build.h ftoption.h ftstdlib.h; do
#  if test ! -f $f; then
#    ac_clean_files="$ac_clean_files $f"
#    touch $f
#  fi
# done
#
# some more content would be expected to calm /bin/cpp of XLC compiler,
# I guess.
