Hi guys.

On a new box I decided I want to turn on the bytecode interpreter for FT2
for Apple's TrueType hiniting.... I see want it now. (Plus I have a Mac
now)

My question is *not* about the method of grabbing source from Freetype and
make/ make install from scratch, rather fixing the existing rpm in Suse 9.
It entails editing a spec file, and rebuilding it. Sounds simple enough.

I'm doing the following:

a) Install source rpm for FreeType2 from the Suse 9 CD.
b) Drop to the source rpm's spec file directory
c) Edit 1 line in freetype2.spec: "%patch100.." ie: not a remark line
..Now what? The URL below seems Suse 7 specific and process seems
deprecated.
* How do I rebuild the rpm...

I see the benefit of having this rpm fixed.

My info is from here:
