Can't make: No rule to make target 'external/freetype/src/autofit/autofit.c'. #352

Sorry if this is not the place. But how do I install this? Here is what I had tried: ./configure make

At first I was getting problems for the headers ft2build.h and hb.h. I updated the C_INCLUDE_PATH variable and those went away. Now, the build process runs for a while, but then stops with this:

make: *** No rule to make target 'external/freetype/src/autofit/autofit.c', needed by 'external/freetype/src/autofit/libSDL2_ttf_la-autofit.lo'. Stop.

By default, the configure script uses a builtin freetype and harfbuzz. You need to run the download.sh script to download these. Or when you're using the git repo, fetch them using git submodules.

System freetype and harfbuzz libraries can be used instead by configuring with --disable-freetype-builtin --disable-harfbuzz-builtin.
