[Devel] Re: [Freetype] Compiling 2.1.7 on Mac OS X

[Garrick Meeker]

This seems to work.  I'm not sure how this is supposed to be quoted.  
CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -DOS_INLINE='static __inline'" produces "-DOS_INLINE=static 
__inline" on the command line so I guess it's okay.

The system headers say:
#ifndef OS_INLINE
#define OS_INLINE static inline
#endif

so this seems to be valid.

This probably isn't necessary when using g++ but it still works.  The stuff in 
configure that sets $GXX is further down so I wasn't sure how to check for 
g++ correctly.

I'm checking for gcc because I'm not sure how other compilers will behave (if 
-ansi is supported).  I couldn't even build using codewarrior (mwcc) and 
configure (I had to pass in a bunch of extra flags to get -I to work and then 
it still couldn't find the standard headers) so this might not be necessary.
