Hello, The current freetype package contains version 2.3.3, while some other packages still need the pre-2.2.0 FreeType with exposed internals and therefore fail to build with the current version of FreeType. For instance libsdl_ttf (see http://freetype.org/freetype2/ freetype-2.2.0.html for more info). As I'm new to MacPorts I don't know what would be the proper solution: Is there a way to make specific packages dependent on specific versions of other packages? (Probably not.) Would be a separate package for that version needed? (Not very nice.) However, as far as I can tell the current state makes some packages simply unusable. Please excuse my lack of deeper knowledge and experience with MacPorts and package management in general. I hope I'll be more helpful next time I come across a problem. Happy Easter, -- Adam
