Re: [ft-devel] FreeType 2.4.7 no longer compiles on Mac OS X, 2.4.6 does

Hi all,

Sorry for long lated action.
Just I've committed my proposal (use GNU Libtool in freetype2
library directory, if available) to freetype2-demos. Now,
if freetype2 directory is configured && made, graph.a is
created with GNU Libtool and would be processed correctly.

If freetype2 directory is NOT configured (e.g. `make devel'),
graph.a will be built by ar, as before. The platform dependent
makefiles in freetype2/builds have platform-specific rules to
build a library, so more portable improvement would be possible,
but it will reduce the readability. I will submit another draft
patch in later.

Regards,
mpsuzuki
