Comment on How do you deal with it when you download library source code from github and need to change all the header includes to actually be correct?

i don’t. i install the dev package of my distro and didn’t run into a case where it’s not available yet. also, i make fake packages for my project with only dependencies, to install those things, so i can uninstall that fake package when i don’t need the project any more and don’t have to keep track what dev deps on my system are still required

I think you cracked the code. I was really curious what distribution this person was using that didn’t have freetype, but missing installing the -dev package makes perfect sense and I definitely remember doing that and tearing my hair out trying to figure out why I couldn’t compile some thing that needed dev headers.

OP, install libfreetype-dev or its equivalent on your system. 90% chance that fixes it.

I really love the –virtual of Alpine’s apk system.
