Hi Ilya,

We are very sorry for the loooong delay in making progress over this one; I should add that we are always more reactive when using the mailing list rather than the trackers.

I was reviewing the tracker, and I believe the problem you exposed is very close from what was exposed in issue #21250 (https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?21250).

I fully understand your proposed resolution is completely different fom what is written about issue #21250. However, we are considering various paths for issue #21250, and while I did not considered it earlier, I shall add your proposition to the possible solutions: so I take the occasion to thank you for your input.

Since we intend to make progress at short term on the latter, I propose to mark this issue #15095 as duplicate of #21250. Do you agree?

Best regards,
Antoine

I must admit that I have no idea what you are talking about.

Neither do I have experience with cross-compiling nor do I
have access to a x86-64 machine, so all I can ask you to
provide patches -- maybe you contact the freetype-devel
mailin list for further discussion.

Currently, freetype i386 and x86-64 collide in the following files:
/usr/bin/freetype-config
/usr/include/freetype2/freetype/config/ftconfig.h

This makes installation of two freetype development kits impossible. Installing two development kits is desirable when the developer does plenty of cross-compiling to x86-64/i386, which is often the case on x86-64 machines.

It would be very much desired that:
1. freetype-config would be recoded to detect its environment and return the appropriate directories, thus creating a single copy of freetype-config on equal-prefix builds or freetype moved to pkgconfig (freetype-config may remain a frontend)
2. ftconfig.h would be moved to the lib(64)/config directory, just as it is for glib2 etc.
