Trying to build mozilla-1.8a4, I get the following error:

It seems that these types used to reside in <freetype/ftcache.h>, but were
renamed. Configure options:

Gcc version is 3.4.2, Linux 2.4.25

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Try to configure with options specified, then make -- and build will certainly
fail (assumed your freetype lib is v2.1.9 or higher).
Actual Results:  
Build fails.

Expected Results:  
Wuild was assumed to succeed.

The only resolution is to downgrade the freetype lib.

Comment 1

[Andrey ``Bass'' Shcheglov]

FTC_Image_Cache was renamed to FTC_ImageCache, while FTC_Image_Desc was replaced
with FTC_ImageTypeRec, but not in a compatible manner. So patching mozilla
sources doesn't help.

Comment 2

[Andrey ``Bass'' Shcheglov]

The latest usable version of freetype is 2.1.7 (revision 1.25 of
<include/freetype/cache/ftcimage.h>); freetype-2.1.8-2.1.9 (revisions 1.26-1.27)
is incompatible with mozilla.
