Re: Problem building libsrvg-2.26.0

I found the problem (I think). My home-build version of fontconfig had
grabbed the system freetype instead of my home built one. The dependency
was recorded in the libtool la file for fontconfig and propagated up
through cairo and pango...
 
Doh :-(

	Hi, 

	I'm having trouble getting the library to build. I have most of
the dependencies built but not 'installed' on my system, but I use the
environment variables PKG_CONFIG_PATH, LD_LIBRARY_FLAGS, CFLAGS and
LDFLAGS at configure and build time to get the right libraries. This
approach has worked for everything I've built so far, from libxml up to
wxWidgets.

	Configuration of librsvg works ok, but when building, it looks
like it's going ok, but then it gets to rsvg-convert and it falls over,
seemingly because it's picking up the wrong version of freetype -
specifically, the build tries to link (output split onto multiple lines
for clarity):

	 [snip] 
	

	So it seems that something is grabbing /usr/lib/libfreetype.so
before grabbing my locally built version. I'm not sure why or at what
stage this occurs - I'm a bit new when it comes to libtool, but it seems
that:

	1. After extraction, the only file containing the word
'freetype' is the configure script, and that's just using pkg-config to
find freetype2

	2. After configuration, the word freetype only occurs in the
same files as above, plus all the Makefiles 
	3. After the failed build, librsvg-2.so.26.0 has been built and
exists in the .libs dir, and running ldd on it looks ok.

	3.1 Examination of the lines of the build output, comparing the
links that work (e.g. linking librsvg-2.so.26.0 and linking
rsvg-convert), it's definitely the freetype system lib vs freetype local
lib. But at this stage I get stuck - I don't know what's causing the
addition of "/usr/lib/libfreetype.so" to the link.

	Hopefully someone has experienced this issue before? 

	Any help gratefully received! 

	Tom Dalton
