Wondering if anybody has encounter this compile error trying
to upgrade to 4.3 from rawhide sources on RH8

This is the procedure I was using to try this from sources

1/ Download freetype, fontconfig & XFree86 source RPMs:

These are the ones I used:

ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/rawhide/1.0/SRPMS/SRPMS/freetype-2.1.4-4.0.src.rpm
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/rawhide/1.0/SRPMS/SRPMS/fontconfig-2.2.1-4.src.rpm
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/rawhide/1.0/SRPMS/SRPMS/XFree86-4.3.0-17.src.rpm



2/ Build the freetype & fontconfig RPMs:
# rpmbuild --rebuild freetype-2.1.4-4.0.src.rpm
# rpmbuild --rebuild fontconfig-2.2.1-4.src.rpm


3/ Install the new freetype & fontconfig RPMs:

# cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386
# rpm -Uhv fontconfig-2.2.1-4.i386.rpm fontconfig-devel-2.2.1-4.i386.rpm
# rpm -Uhv freetype-2.1.4-4.0.i386.rpm freetype-devel-2.1.4-4.0.i386.rpm


4/ Install Xfree86 4.3 source RPM:

# rpm -ihv  XFree86-4.3.0-17.src.rpm

5/ Edit the XFree86.spec (see attached diff):

Apparently, Xft was merged into XFree86 and the previously separate Xft
package was made obsolete. Unfortunately, just about every GNOME & KDE
RPM is dependent on Xft. The solution I found was to include Xft and
Xft-devel in the "Provides" sections of the spec file. If you build
XFree86 without these changes & force-install the RPMs, the dependencies
on all the previously mentioned GNOME & KDE RPMs will be broken.


6/ Build XFree86-4.3 RPMS using the modified spec file:

# cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
# rpmbuild -bb XFree86.spec  <=============This is the setp that dies


7/ Install the new RPMs:

# cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS
# rpm -Uhv XFree86*


8/ Update the dynamic linker cache:

This allows apps linked against Xft to find the new version in
/usr/X11R6/lib instead of /usr/lib.


# /sbin/ldconfig

9/ Restart any/all X clients/servers.
