[Gambas-user] gb3: unable to compile on Debian Wheezy (testing)

[Kevin Fishburne]

I'd previously posted a message about having problems compiling and 
didn't get a response, but someone subsequently ran into the same (I 
think) problem which I believe they resolved. I'm getting the error:

/bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib/libfreetype.la: No such file or directory
libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libfreetype.la' is not a valid libtool archive
make[4]: *** [gb.sdl.la] Error 1
make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

The solution had something to do with symlinking a file somewhere. Was 
an elegant solution ever devised to get it to compile properly? I can't 
remember whatever my brutal hack was to fix it (I reinstalled Debian 
recently).
