[Mapserver-users] once again compiling with TTF-Support

Hello Daniel,

libmap.a was from yesterday, deleting and recompiling had no effect.

I tried that with a patched Version of GD 1.8.4 and Freetype 1.3.1 but I 
could not compile the GD with freetype-support. It always said:

checking for freetype.h... (cached) no
configure: warning: libgd will be built without support for TrueType 
fonts - no freetype.h.
checking for TT_Init_FreeType in -lttf... (cached) yes

I checked, if freetype.h is there and it is (in /usr/include/freetype 
and in /usr/local/include/freetype).

The first GD that found freetype.h was this 2.0.7-Version.

Thanks for your help, I'll try to get it started somehow with GD 1.8.4.

Bye,
