I have a program that needs to link against freetype-devel. I have installed freetype using macports - does this install the devel library? If not how do I install the devel portion?
In MacPorts there is no separation between the binaries and libraries (what some other package managers might install as "freetype") and the headers needed to build other software (what some other package managers might install as "freetype-devel"). Instead, in MacPorts, everything you need is already in "freetype".
This might be asking too much, but how would I solve this problem? checking for FT_Init_FreeType in -lfreetype... no configure: error: "Freetype not found - try installing freetype-devel"
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: http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2008-January/ 008313.html Especially see the "Bottom line" at the end.
