[Juan Simón]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0
Build Identifier: 4.0.1

I'm trying to compile Firefox 4.0.1 on Ubuntu Lucid 64 bits but: "configure: error: Can't find header fontconfig/fcfreetype.h."

This file exists:
$ locate fcfreetype.h
/usr/include/fontconfig/fcfreetype.h

My config:
--enable-application=browser --with-x --enable-official-branding --disable-accessibility --enable-raw --disable-tests --disable-parental-controls --enable-faststart --disable-pedantic --disable-necko-wifi --disable-debug --enable-optimize --enable-crypto --enable-ui-locale=es-ES --with-l10n-base=. --disable-freetypetest --with-pthreads --disable-crashreporter --disable-updater --enable-system-sqlite --disable-freetypetest

Reproducible: Always

You most probably don't have libfontconfig1-dev installed.

Please refer to https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Linux_Build_Prerequisites for the list of things you need to build Firefox.

I have installed libfontconfig1-dev (2.8.0-2ubuntu1)

--disable-freetypetest ?

Why are you using all those configure options? You should just use --enable-application=browser and skip the rest

I want compile a Firefox fast and optimized for my system.
Anyway, this is irrelevant for the resolution of this bug.

This is the last part of config.log:

configure:25385: checking for fontconfig/fcfreetype.h
configure:25395: gcc -E    conftest.c >/dev/null 2>conftest.out
In file included from /usr/include/fontconfig/fcfreetype.h:27,

And ftheader.h exists too:

$ locate ftheader.h
/home/simon/sources/mozilla-2.0/modules/freetype2/include/freetype/config/ftheader.h
/usr/include/freetype2/freetype/config/ftheader.h

[Juan Simón]

I forgot to say:

$ pkg-config --cflags freetype2
-I/usr/include/freetype2

There should be a -I/usr/include/freetype2 on this command line, which should come from PKG_CHECK_MODULES(FT2, freetype2 > 6.1.0 fontconfig)

Comment 8

[Juan Simón]

$ pkg-config --cflags "freetype2 > 6.1.0 fontconfig"
-I/usr/include/freetype2

Comment 9

[Mike Hommey [:glandium]]

Please attach your config.log

Comment 10

[Juan Simón]

It's curious but if I add "--disable-pango" to configure it works well.

Comment 11

[Juan Simón]

I understand nothing, now the check works with (or without) "--disable-pango"... ¿?
