freetype +universal fails on Tiger PowerPC

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The universal variant of freetype works on Intel but on PowerPC it says this:

This works on Tiger Intel and on Leopard because /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib is universal on Tiger Intel and on all versions of Leopard. But on Tiger PowerPC /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib is PowerPC only. freetype should be trying to link with /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib which is always universal.

This needs to be reported to the developers of freetype so they can fix it.

This was previously ​reported on macports-users but I forgot about it.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I ​reported it on the freetype mailing list and a workaround was given: add the -isysroot parameter in the LDFLAGS too (in addition to in the CFLAGS, where MacPorts already puts it). I see we've already used this workaround in a few other ports (libiconv, unrar, xrender, XviD) and it does appear to work for freetype too. Fixed in r37039.
