Re: cairo 1.1.2 snapshot released

[Dennis Leeuw]

Hi Fred,

I installed cairo in /usr/GNUstep/cairo, but the gnustep-back build 
crashes on:
/usr/GNUstep/cairo/include/cairo/cairo-ft.h:48:10: #include expects 
"FILENAME" or <FILENAME>

Setting the macro to freetype/freetype.h or 
freetype2/freetype/freetype.h makes the problem even bigger.
Any ideas?

My freetype-config says it is version 9.5.3

Thanks,

Dennis
