DetailsThe freetype2 package doesn't include the static library (/usr/lib/libfreetype.a), and that prevents building some programs that need to be static. The tuxonice-userui is one example, but I guess similar, early user-space programs are the same.
BTW, the static library was present in older versions of the package, I didn't notice when it disappear though. Repository : extra Name : freetype2 Version : 2.3.8-1 |
This task depends upon
