[ft] /usr/bin/install cannot stat `./builds/unix/freetype-config'

[Dirkjan Ochtman]

Hi there,

For our product at work, we build freetype from source, through a Makefile:

cd build/freetype-* && ./configure --prefix=$(PREFIX) && $(MAKE) install

This worked with freetype-2.4.10, but fails with 2.5.2:

/usr/bin/install: cannot stat `./builds/unix/freetype-config': No such
file or directory
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1

I did find bug #38235, but according to the comments there, it should
have been fixed before the 2.5.2 release. It seems to me like the UNIX
install target should probably make sure freetype-config gets build,
since it doesn't seem to be included in PROJECT_LIBRARY or any of its
precursors. I've come up with this, does that seem sensible?
