I bet this will only occur if XFree86 4.0.3 or earlier was already
installed on the system, in particular, if libXft.so.1 is
installed. The 4.0.3 version of this was lacking XftDirSave. The real
point is that xftcache is used for the build process before the
library is installed. To do so, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set to
xc/exports/lib, which is filled with the necessary symbolic links,
like this:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../../../exports/lib \
../../../exports/bin/xftcache
This would work normally, but xftcache is build with
USRLIBDIR = /usr/X11R6/lib
[...]
EXTRA_LOAD_FLAGS = -Wl,-rpath,$(USRLIBDIRPATH)
[...]
USRLIBDIRPATH = $(USRLIBDIR)
[...]
xftcache: $(OBJS) $(DEPLIBS)
$(RM) $@
$(CCLINK) -o $@ $(LDOPTIONS) $(OBJS) $(LOCAL_LIBRARIES) \
$(LDLIBS) $(EXTRA_LOAD_FLAGS)
(from xc/programs/xftcache/Makefile). The -Wl,-rpath,$(USRLIBDIRPATH)
argument means that the rpath in the built xftcache binary is set to
/usr/X11R6/lib/.
The library search order is (rpath, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, ldconfig hints,
default path). Therefore, the LD_LIBRARY_PATH argument has no effect
if the library previously existed in /usr/X11R6/lib, and the old one
is used.
A temporary workaround is to copy the new libXft to /usr/X11/lib and
restart the build.
A possible fix (untested) may be to comment out the following in
FreeBSD.cf:
#if OSMajorVersion > 2 || (OSMajorVersion == 2 && OSMinorVersion >= 2)
#ifndef ExtraLoadFlags
#if UseElfFormat
#define ExtraLoadFlags -Wl,-rpath,$(USRLIBDIRPATH)
#else
#define ExtraLoadFlags -Wl,-R,$(USRLIBDIRPATH)
#endif
#endif
#endif
I think this is there to allow multiple versions of XFree86 in
parallel, so that will probably break if this is removed.
