[GRASSLIST:9088] Re: missing Freetype includes - can't build cvs 15.11.2005, 23:15

[David Finlayson]

Freetype stumped me on Ubuntu as well...I didn't pursue it yet. So I
would be glad to hear your tweak to get it compiled.  The other thing
I am interested in is the debian directory. What do you do to build
the debs? Is there any advantage to the debs over sudo ./make install?
