My last results of trying to compile fontforge from tar/git ...

First I configured libspiro and libuni*
./configure --enable-shared --enable-static --prefix=/usr

Using --disable-shared don't makes .dll in /usr/lib
Because configure of fontforge still not finds
libunicodenames, which not makes a .dll using --enable-shared,
but finds libuninameslist and libspiro, which produces such a .dll,
it might bei, that fontforge-configure looks at dll to check,
if the whole library is available?

The last try for configure fontforge itself was
./configure --disable-shared --enable-static --prefix=/usr --without-iconv

skipping the last leads to fail finding iconv-stuff

make compiles fine until directory fontforgeexec including this one,
an executable is now found at this dir.
Then make stops at CCLD psMat.la in directory pyhook...

Starting the executables in their directorys (without make install)
will produce the warning
Failed to open hotkey definition file:
/home/Jacobs/...*).../fontforgeexe/share/fontforge/hotkeys/default

*) All things said about configure, make and start are guilty for
git-Version as for tarball from 20140101 in their both directorys

The executables seems to work both, but without hotkeys ...
What is missing there?

I not yet tested --disable-python-extension ...
Just a moment to try it at 20140101 ...
Yeah, compiles up to the end.
But still the hotkey-error ...
