psplibraries/freetype, not building

Using Ubuntu 8.10

After a successful compile of the toolchain, I'm making an attempt to build the libraries

I'm getting this as I move to build freetype:-

checking build system type... /bin/bash: ./config.guess: No such file or directory
configure error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one
make: *** [build/unix/unix-def.mk] Error 1

any idea as to what's wrong?

you have to read the README.PSP

You're obviously compiling for unix :)

Read that (and followed its instructions to the letter), but that's not the point.

The automated script (which should work automatically) is bombing out on me.

And since this is Ubuntu, then naturally build/unix is being used.

OK, here's the problem

There should be the file config.guess in the freetype/builds/unix directory.

config.guess is used to find the build type (e.g. i686-pc-linux-gnu) when you haven't specified it in the configure options.

Fortunately this file is as standard where the GNU build environment exists, and I found a copy in /usr/share/misc/ on Ubuntu 8.10, so I copied it into the builds/unix directory, and now all is well.
