Hello, All

for a story i've installed minimal FreeBSD 4.11 on intel (i386). I'm trying 
to make a desktop station. i'm compiling from official sources (dont' use 
packages system)

i've installed XFree86 4.6.0 (fontconfig freetype 2.1.8 included)


!!! Important issue about freetype 2.2.1 on freebsd 4 series !!!!
i've tried to make pango 1.5.0 (latest)  I get compile error in 
pango-ot-info.c  complaining about freetype.h due to #error macros included 
at the head of freetype.h.

By the way in pango 1.5.0 package some include directives trying to search 
for ftobject.h in a wrong directory. (<freetype/ftobject.h> instead of 
<freetype/config/ftobject.h>  Solved by adjusting 
CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/X11R6/freetype2/freetype/config ... They say in freetype.h 
that this hierarchy won't be followed in future releases but for now it 
seems to bring obscure errors while building softaware relying on freetype 
(what the F... ft2build.h is not included yet ???)

what should i do? i've tried to install freetype 2.2.1 (latest) but it 
complains about sysntax error in /usr/include/sys/mman.h line 140 
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and even i've sucsseeded it seems that 
freetype2.2.1 package preserves the same include hierarchy as 2.1.8 so it 
won't resolve my problem (read before this paragraph).

please if anyone see an issue about my problem ??? CC me because i'm not on 
the list and internet acces is too expensive for me.

i'll try to post a bug report at pango list (include problem #include 
<freetype/ftobject.h> should be <freetype/config/ftobject.h>

and also make a follow up to freetype2 team as it seems to report syntax 
error in /usr/include/sys/mman.h

have a nice day.

Best Regards
Vitaly
