Error compiling freetype make: Nothing to be done for 'unix'


I am trying to compile freetype 4.5.5 on ubuntu I am running ./configure and get the error make: Nothing to be done for 'unix' which almost sounds like a non error.

can anyone explain what this means and how I can get past the message the full output from ./configure is here http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10642342/

I have GNU Make 4.0 for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu installed and running the latest stable ubuntu.


Solution

  • The current version of freetype is 2.5.5 (see its downloads directory). If you do

    ./configure
    make
    

    that should work. The message about "Nothing to be done for 'unix'" is harmless.
