Re: [ft] Freetype2 compilation error

[suzuki toshiya]

Just I've uploaded testing tarball.

http://gyvern.ipc.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~mpsuzuki/freetype-2.4.11_fix-for-xlc-cpp_20130319a.tar.xz

Please try and see how warning on ftconfig.in checking will
be changed, or not.

Regards,
mpsuzuki


P.S.
The difference from genuine 2.4.11 is quite small, like this.
