My lfs system does not have /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xft/xftint.h but my
Debian system does. I found that the KDE version of xftint.h is only used if
Xft is available. Since I don't use it on the lfs box, I disabled HAVE_XFT in
the top-level config.h and it's now compiling away fine.
This still leaves the question why does kde3.0beta2 contain a duplicate
xftint.h file? Certainly it should use the one from X? Or is this just
something strange about the beta version I have?
Thanks for the info, though if I had looked in the sources first, I probably
would have found this anyway.
Cheers,
John Gay
