Hello,
The attached patch makes VDR's Makefile use pkgconfig for finding libs and include dirs of freetype and fontconfig instead of making assumptions.
How about putting that stuff at the same place everywhere? Why must it have to be somewhere else on every system?
Klaus,
how about accepting the case, that the world has more than one Linux distribution and in addition, there is not only Linux where VDR can run on. How about beeing a little bit less ignorant when it comes to VDR and portability. What do you think why we have tools like pkg-config or autotools and so many projects make use of it? Because its funny? I don't think so!
What's the big deal with Villa's proposal to change two lines in the Makefile when it breaks nothing for you and makes life easier for other users?
See my reply to Luca.
Instead of having all applications work around freetyp2's weird include macro stuff, why not complain to the freetype2 people and have them provide just a plain old <freetype2.h> that can be included like any other header file?
Sorry for being ignorant, but I have this tendency to try to solve problems at their root.
