Stuck On this One (gdkxft an antialiaser for gtk 1.2)

ilikenwf · 2008-11-07 04:25:17

I can't get it to compile because some header files are in different locations, among other things...here's my PKGBUILD...it's good, nothing else is...

# Contributor:  ilikenwf/Matt Parnell <parwok@gmail.com>

pkgver=1.5
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Adds antialiasing to fonts in gtk 1.2 apps"

Some remarks in regard to your PKGBUILD:

* Any messages to be read by the user or commands that need to be executed after installation, should be put in a .install file.
* Always use downloads.sourceforge.net and avoid specifying a mirror yourself.
* In the provides array, you place packages whose features your package provides. This is used to satisfy dependencies of other packages.
* The correct license is LGPL, not GPL.

Here's a revised PKGBUILD (please note that it may require further tweaking):

You may as well add yourself as the contributor and put it in AUR. I won't maintain it since I didn't really write it.
