User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a3) Gecko/20040811 Firefox/0.9.1+ (johnleemk)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a3) Gecko/20040918 Firefox/0.9.1+ (johnleemk)

After checking out the code for a trunk build (20040917), I tried to compile it.
However, configure failed, giving an error.

This bug has been confirmed by two others on Mozillazine. I use Slackware 10.0,
another uses SuSe 9.1, and the last uses Fedora Core 2.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check out the code from CVS.
2. Run "gmake -f client.mk build"

Actual Results:  
The following output was given:
checking MOZ_GTK2_CFLAGS... -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include
-I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/X11R6/include
-I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/freetype2/config -I/usr/include/glib-2.0
-I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include
checking MOZ_GTK2_LIBS... -Wl,--export-dynamic -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0
-latk-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lm -lpangoxft-1.0 -lpangox-1.0 -lpango-1.0
-lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0
configure: error: Cannot enable XFT and FREETYPE2 at the same time.
*** Fix above errors and then restart with "gmake -f client.mk build"
gmake: *** [/root/firefox/mozilla/Makefile] Error 1

Expected Results:  
Configure should have continued on its merry way.

first off, its pretty logical that if you get an error saying "you can't build
with both of those options" then there's a reason that you can't build with both
of those options.  Maybe I'm crazy, but that seems like a really clear error
message.

Bug 190031 made them separate and not compatible, for various reasons.
