Re: [Chicken-users] error when building freetype egg

I can reproduce this.  It's a breaking change in freetype.h:

    FT_UInt glyph_index; /* new in 2.10; was reserved previously */

I suspect you'd have to do some ugly preprocessor/cond-expand tricks.
Help with the latter is welcome :)  Freetype2 gives us the
FREETYPE_MAJOR/_MINOR/_PATCH macros (useful at build time) and the
FT_Library_Version function (useful at run time) to determine the
current version.
