Without knowing what software it is that you're trying to build, I can only make basic suggestions about how to compile something against the MacPorts libraries. See this message from earlier today:

Especially see the "Bottom line" at the end.
I have been trying this, but it does not solve my problem. export CFLAGS="-I/opt/local/include" export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/local/ lib"I am trying to compile icedtea, which as far as I know is not in the Macports. At least, freetype-devel is installed, I only have to find a way to get configure to find it.Thanks for you help!Michael
You mean this thing?
Yow, they have lots of requirements. From their INSTALL file:
The build requirements are as follows:
GNU libgcj 4.1.2 Eclipse Java Compiler 3.2.1 CUPS libX11 (libXp, libXtst, libXi, libXt) lesstif Freetype2 patch sed unzip md5sum wget alsa xalan xerces firefox-devel glib2-devel gtk2-devel ant >= 1.6.5 libXinerama-devel giflib-devel libpng-devel libjpeg-devel zlib-devel mercurial 0.9.5 + forest extension
After getting most of the dependent packages installed (had to remove firefox since I am having problems with xmlto) I am back to my original problem. Configure can not find freetype-devel. checking xerces2 jar... /opt/local/share/java/xercesImpl.jar checking for FT_Init_FreeType in -lfreetype... yes checking for freetype header directory... no configure: error: "Freetype headers not found - try installing freetype-devel" Michael
