Re: gnustep-back without freetype

[Fred Kiefer]

Hi Riccardo,

as far as I am aware the cairo backend won’t build without freetype. So most 
likely you are building the xlib or the art backend. And if you do, you really 
should state this. These backends are deprecated. If you get them to work on 
your machine, fine. If you don’t, I won’t be able to help you. And nobody else 
will, as long as you don’t write what is happening when you try to use this 
specific setup :-(
