freetype not detected on configure

freetype not detected on configure

[Gavin M2301]

Hi all-

I am trying to run this:

./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 \
      --prefix=$MINGWROOT \
      --enable-debug \
      --with-{freetype,sdl,png,jpeg,gl}=$MINGWROOT \
      --without-{fontconfig,sndfile,gettext,iconv} I get this for an error
msg: checking for FreeType...no
*
* The FreeType library was not found, aborting!
*
* Agar needs FreeType to display vector fonts
* (http://www.freetype.org/).

I think I checked everything in the package manager that said freetype.

Any ideas on what I can do?

thanks.

Hi Andrey-

I had to set up ming in Cygwin correctly.

$     x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc.exe  `agar-config --cflags`           -o hello
hello.c       `agar-config --libs`

The cool trick is cygcheck. That allows you to see which dependency you are
missing so you can play with the package manager in cygwin and install the
right mingw packages.

The on-line help and the tricks Charles showed me earlier by running
agar-config --cflags and agar-config --libs helps you figure out what you
need on the system.

I guess that is about it.  Thx!

It would be beneficial to future readers if you specify, what exactly helped
your cause/how did you solved your issue.
