In ubuntu Natty Narwhal and some branches of debian the indirect linking is not allowed and any attempt to link U++ applications fails, because of unresolved symbols.

Adding freetype to CtrlCore package fix the issue.

Thanks Andrei, but I believe that proper place to put the lib dependency is actually Draw.upp, since it is actually used in this package only (and Painter, but that depends on Draw). SystemDraw and similar packages would not work if you put it in CtrlCore only.

I am just testing this by building theide for natty in launchpad. I'll report if it succeeds later.

You're right, i think that's better. Tested with freetype in Draw and it works.

I've seen that your launchpad build failed for theide with NOGTK. Xrender should be added in CtrlCore.
CtrlCore
LINUX = X11 Xrender
Draw
LINUX= dl freetype

I tested the linking with the changes made in version 3261 and it seems to work fine in natty.

Andrei, can you test it as well? If you don't find any trouble, I think we can finaly close this issue...

Everything is fine.
I've tested with TheIDE (including .NOGTK) and an example from bazaar.
