The following error message appears when compiling and installing freetype under ubuntu12.04:
configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating unix-cc.mk config.status: creating unix-def.mk config.status: creating freetype-config config.status: creating freetype2.pc config.status: creating ftconfig.h FreeType build system -- automatic system detection The following settings are used: platform unix compiler cc configuration directory ./builds/unix configuration rules ./builds/unix/unix.mk If this does not correspond to your system or settings please remove the file `config.mk' from this directory then read the INSTALL file for help. Otherwise, simply type `make' again to build the library, or `make refdoc' to build the API reference (the latter needs python). make: Nothing to be done for `unix'.
