The HISTORY file states: "Include paths are now added instead of overwriting INCLUDES in the Makefile"
However, in the Makefile changes: -INCLUDES = -I/usr/include/freetype2 +INCLUDES ?= -I/usr/include/freetype2
Shouldn't that be += instead of ?=.
No, the conditional variable assignment operator ?= allows one to replace this variable via command line/environment.
Thats not what the HISTORY reads. Either the Makefile or the HISTORY should be changed.
This change was posted here on the list by Paul Menzel on 2010-04-05. I guess the phrase "Include paths are now added instead of overwriting..." in the HISTORY was my fault.
@Paul: would it be ok with you to make this
INCLUDES += -I/usr/include/freetype2
instead of
INCLUDES ?= -I/usr/include/freetype2
