Always

Steps to Reproduce:
rpm --rebuild --target i686 XFree86-4.2.0-52.01.src.rpm

freetype 2.1.2-3

Comment 1 Mike A. Harris 2002-07-13 04:55:50 UTC

XFree86 4.2.0 src.rpm is not intended to work in Red Hat Linux 7.0.  This is
not a bug.  It is impossible to make every rpm package, and in particular
a large package such as XFree86 compile with every possible compiler and
toolchain of every distro release without an amazing amount of complexity.
This is further made more complex by RPM spec files not allowing nested
conditionalization.

XFree86 should compile and work (without 3D acceleration) in Red Hat Linux
7.0 if you edit the specfile and tweak various things for the RHL 7.0
environment.  In the case of 7.0, one thing you'd want to do, is disable
ttmkfdir from being built at all, because it is included in the freetype
package itself in that release.  There is a conditional in the spec file
for this already "with_ttmkfdir".  You will need to tweak various other
things as well.

You're much better off however upgrading to Red Hat Linux 7.3 if you would
like to use XFree86 4.2.0.

Hope this helps.
