The behaviour of 'freetype-config' (from freetype-native) has changed since this commit:
commit 3476a49b10093c58b2f89e3d9a8527224f1bd7f6
Author: Richard Purdie <[email protected]>
Date: Thu May 22 10:59:33 2014 +0100
binconfig-disabled: Add class and use

This is breaking my build of mplayer which uses freetype-config to determine how to use the freetype library (in ./configure)

The comment in the commit indicates that this is an improvement and the path forward, but I don't see how to change the recipes (and scripts, etc) that rely on this functionality to work in this new mode.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

See git log for many examples how it was fixed in other recipes.

add AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([foreign]) to the configure.in or configure.ac

I don't see how your suggestion helps. This package (mplayer) doesn't use autotools - it has a hand coded configure script, so there is no configure.{in,ac}

I also looked through the logs and didn't see any recipe which uses a package that is now marked as binconfig-disabled as to how it solves the problem. A pointer/example would really be appreciated.

It's really not so hard to search for "-config" in git log.

It's really not so hard to search for "-config" in git log.

Not every change in these lists was relevant (in fact most were not). However, I did find an example which worked for me.

Bottom line - change 'freetype-config XXX' to 'pkg-config freetype2 XXX'
