Hi. After I upgraded to MacPorts 1.4, I noticed that freetype is now at 2.3.2, where the version I have installed is 2.1.10.
freetype 2.3.2 would have been available to previous MacPorts versions as well through a simple "port sync".
I would like to upgrade to the latest version, but I also have several ports installed that depend on freetype. How do I know if 2.3.2 is binary compatible with 2.1.10, and if not, is there a command to re-compile all the ports that depend on freetype?
I do not know if freetype 2.3.2 is binary-compatible with 2.1.10, nor do I think there is a general way that one can be assured of that for any arbitrary versions of any given port. I installed freetype 2.3.2 over my 2.1.10 and it seemed to work for me. If you find you do need to rebuild things that depend on freetype, there is a script at item 2 of the problem hotlist that can help you identify what those ports are: http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/wiki/ProblemHotlist
