[tex-live] Problems configuring the ttf2pk stuff on Mac OS X

[Gerben Wierda]

I am still having problems compiling the extras. After a
	make world
I run
	make extras

this goes well, until it wants to do something in po and then the 
configure script fails because it cannot find libkpathsea.a (which has 
been installed fine)

I looked at the Makefile and at least it seems to me that

> prefix = /usr/local/teTeX
> exec_prefix = ${prefix}
> datadir = ${prefix}/share
> bindir = ${exec_prefix}/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin5.4

>         --with-kpathsea-include=$(datadir)/include \
>         --with-kpathsea-lib=$(datadir)/lib \

>         $(MAKE) ; \

>         --with-kpathsea-include=$(datadir)/include \
>         --with-kpathsea-lib=$(datadir)/lib \
>         --with-kpathsea-dir=$(datadir) --prefix=$(prefix) 
> --bindir=$(bindir); \
>         $(MAKE) $(MDEFINES) all install)

is strange because include and lib are not subdirectories of share, but 
of the main dir. I hacked a separate Makefile but that did not solve my 
problem. freetype config.status tells me what happened when I hacked the 
Makefile

> freetype/config.status:# ./configure  -enable-static --disable-shared 
> --with-kpathsea-include=/usr/local/teTeX/include --with-kpathsea-
> lib=/usr/local/teTeX/lib --disable-nls

Which looks fine.

Which is fine too.

I looked at freetype/contrib/ttf2pk/configure and it looks to me it 
might be the culprit  and it might depend on having an installed 
kpathsea somewhere in a more traditional location like /usr/local, 
instead of just the one in ...tex-prefix.../lib which would then succeed 
on those systems, but that is just a guess.

Anyway, make extras fails on Mac OS X when configuring ttf2pk and I 
suspect ttf2pk's configure is broken and I'd like to get this solved but 
I am currently fresh out of ideas.
