Void. It’s like arch except that in exchange for stuff breaking less often, it’s just compatible with a lot less stuff. Frankly it’s not a worthwhile tradeoff.

I definitely wouldn’t recommend changing every include.
Can you configure freetype to go straight into /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include instead, with no freetype/? That would be how I would attack it. Most libraries are going to have a way to configure them to go where you want them to go. GNU Stow can be very useful here to keep things organized.
What distro are you using that doesn’t have freetype available? That seems strange.

Remove the locally compiled install and install
freetype-devel, and see if that works.PenisDuckCuck9001@lemmynsfw.com 2 months ago
That worked but now I get a bunch of undefined reference errors. I tried adding the path of the libfreetype.a file to the makefile a few different ways but it’s not changing anything.

That sounds perfect. Installing the system
-develpackage and-lfreetypeis the right way to do it. Glad you got it working!

Or create a symlink?

Actually that worked for this one. Thanks.

That is what GNU Stow does, with a lot of package-management-like helper commands which make it all organized and convenient.
