compiling XF4 on potato?

[Stefan Kluth <skluth@mppmu.mpg.de>]

Hi, 

I got some way through compiling XF4, but I now I have hit a wall. I get 

...

gcc -c -O2 -g -fsigned-char  -I/usr/include/freetype2
-I../.. -I../../exports/include  -Dlinux -D__powerpc__
-D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199309L -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE
-D_SVID_SOURCE  -D_GNU_SOURCE    -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO -DXTHREADS
-D_REENTRANT -DXUSE_MTSAFE_API
-DXFT_DEFAULT_PATH=\"/etc/X11/XftConfig\" -DFREETYPE2   xftcfg.c
In file included from xftint.h:30,
                 from xftcfg.c:28:
XftFreetype.h:34: parse error before `_XftFTlibrary'
XftFreetype.h:34: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
XftFreetype.h:37: parse error before `FT_Face'
XftFreetype.h:37: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union
XftFreetype.h:53: parse error before `}'

...

I installed freetype2-dev to get the freetype headers in the first
place. I also noticed that in the command above we have
"-I/usr/include/freetype2" while the include files for freetype are in
"/usr/include/freetype" (notice the missing "2"). Making a symlink from
freetype to freetype2 didn't help though. 

I live on a 500MHz G4 with a clean Debian potato install and working XF3. 

Any ideas?
