Re: [ft] Question: linker errors when building freetype for iOS in Xcode

[Jeffrey Sheen]

Many thanks for your quick response Werner.

This being my first foray with freetype2, I had indeed overlooked the customisation of `ftmodule.h`.

After commenting out the modules corresponding to those `.c` files that I had omitted from the compilation step, I rebuilt the product. I ended up with a library of 3.2MB, as opposed to the previous build of 2.6Mb. I then re-added it to my other, dependent Xcode project.

The first clean and build cycle of the dependent Xcode project yielded the same linker errors, so there is still something awry. I will give it another go in the morning.

Perhaps I will jettison my plan to build the freetype2 library with Xcode altogether. There are some suggestions for a command line process that I can attempt instead.

I guess that you've missed to update `ftmodule.h' to hold only the
modules you are going to use.  Cf. `docs/CUSTOMIZE'.
