#41572: root: switch to external FreeType once "unknown type name 'FT_Glyph'; did you mean 'FTGlyph'" is fixed --------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: mojca@… | Owner: jonesc@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: root5 root6 | --------------------------+---------------------- Comment (by jonesc@…): I still would like to understand exactly what we gain. Sure, we gain the ability to control the freetype version used, but is that really a major gain ? The increase in build time and binary size is I think pretty small. I would not be in particular favour of making the change, if it only lead to increased instability because of the use of a version of freetype not tested against ROOT by upstream (using Cocoa, and thus the builtin version is probably the only version upstream test on a Mac). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41572#comment:19> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
