Hi Lee

Thanks for the check. begs the Q of what it may be...

I did then try the --disable-docs which did bypass that issue, then
grumble in the riscpkg stage:

Probably something simple that I'm missing, but the libfontconfig1 directory
doesn't exist in the package directory at this point.

Are you building shared libraries? libfontconfig1 is the shared library

I will need to build shared libraries, but at this stage not sure.  I'll try again with the  libfontconfig1 removed from the AB line

.. build does complete, thanks

shared libraries. ... I've missed this.. how do I globally turn on the build of shared libraries please?

Thanks
John

p.s. I'm building quite a list of things where I have local patches to the autobuilder scripts. Should theyy all come through you, or might it be simpler if I put them in directly?  (I guess I'm also asking whether that could be arranged..)

package and is only created if shared libraries are enabled. The
autobuilder expects to always find it though because it's mentioned at
the top of setvars in AB_PACKAGES. I guess I need to set AB_PACKAGES
here according to whether shared libraries are enabled or not.

IS there any AB type definition that brings in the native cc compiler,
not the arm one?

No I don't think so, because the autobuilder doesn't know which compiler
to use when. Sometimes the package authors will specifically support
cross compiling and allow you to set HOST_CC. Sometimes you have to
configure and build the package twice (in setvars) for native and
RISC OS to get native compiled tools.
In this case though all the html documentation files seem to be
present in doc/fontconfig-devel even with --disable-doc (in fact
the debian patch adds them), so I'll alter setvars to add this
option and fix AB_PACKAGES as above.

Lee.
