I've just upgraded to Disco from Cosmic. I was re-building GEGL so that I could re-build Gimp, the GEGL build moaned when it couldn't find the libfreetype.la . I'd reconfigured it, cleaned it, and then built it again. It still stopped with an error when it couldn't find libfreetype.la
The Cosmic version of this library shipped with this file, so why doesn't the Disco version. Incidentally, worked around it by compiling and installing libfreetype to /usr/local and borrowing the .la file from there, GEGL now compiles, and I'm currently recompiling Gimp. I know I'm a masochist, I like to build Gimp from source, both for the 2.10 version and the 2.99 version. ** Description changed: I noticed when trying to compile an application against the version of - the freetype library shipped with Cosmic that it doesn't include the + the freetype library shipped with Disco that it doesn't include the libfreetype.la file in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ My compilation failed when it couldn't find the file. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to freetype in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1815496 Title: Unlike libfreetype6-dev in Cosmic the version shipped with Disco doesn't include libfreetype.la file Status in freetype package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I noticed when trying to compile an application against the version of the freetype library shipped with Disco that it doesn't include the libfreetype.la file in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ My compilation failed when it couldn't find the file.
