#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 ryandesign@…): Replying to [comment:5 jonesc@…]:

Reading the reports, its not clear to me if this is a ROOT bug, a FreeType bug, or perhaps even a MacPorts bug in the ROOT port file.

The upstream ticket has been closed with the comment:

...

It's not the fault of our library that another library which is based on FreeType uses such a similar header name!

So please file a bug with the makers of ftgl and ask them to rename their headers.

Looks like the freetype developers have decided it is their bug after all. freetype 2.6.1's CHANGES file includes these comments: {{{ II. IMPORTANT CHANGES - The header file layout has been changed (again), moving all header files except `ft2build.h' into a subdirectory tree. Doing so reduces the possibility of header file name clashes (e.g., FTGL's `FTGlyph.h' with FreeType's `ftglyph.h') on case insensitive file systems like Mac OS X or Windows. }}} So please see if root5 and root6 can now be changed back to using MacPorts freetype. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41572#comment:16> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
