Re: iDesk MAKE error, not sure what to do..

It appears you need the source for freetype installed as the makefile is looking for ft2build.h

Re: iDesk MAKE error, not sure what to do..

pacman -S freetype2

will install the freetype libraries, chances are you already have them though, in which case cd to /usr/include

then try the following

ln -s freetype2/freetype freetype

then try rebuilding again. Might work.

Re: iDesk MAKE error, not sure what to do..

Take it it worked then, for future reference, the compiler was looking for the freetype folder in /usr/include instead of /usr/include/freetype2, just creating a symlink in the right place fixed it. If you are going to compile your own stuff, you need to be able to read what the output is telling you, this is the sort of problem you will come across frequently.  Also, IF you are  an anal retentive clean freak like me you can delete the symlink now

As to what happens when you run idesk, sorry mate, never used it, can't help there. It appears to be running though otherwise you wouldn't get the rc file.

Re: iDesk MAKE error, not sure what to do..

LOL Please don't my inbox fills up fast enough as it is thankyou very much.

Thinking about it though, I may see if I have time to write a quick wiki article if there isn't one about this sort of thing already, would be useful reference for those people who've never used make before.
