so you are using a distro that thinks they can discard the .la files.
It's not like I'm doing anything obscure. As far as I can tell neither
Red Hat nor Debian install .la files. Not to mention there are all the
non-GNU/Linux systems out there that certainly do not use libtool
despite providing libz et al. It would be a waste of time to complain,
or expect them to be there.
What a mess.
But it's a mess that's been present since day 1. Nothing has changed in
the world. The binaries work. Why go to some exhaustive and exhausting
amount of effort to solve a non-problem?
I don't see how the get the
'-I's required for the system ft2.
Use the system freetype-config?
On my linux system libfontconfig.so certainly pulls in libz.so, in
addition to the libz.a from the TL tree.
All I know is what ldd tells me. Maybe that's not enough.
$ ldd xetex
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb7fed000)
libfontconfig.so.1 => /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 (0x008ce000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/i686/nosegneg/libm.so.6 (0x005c1000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/nosegneg/libc.so.6 (0x00478000)
libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0x00829000)
libexpat.so.0 => /lib/libexpat.so.0 (0x008ab000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00455000)
