Hi,

currently your package FTBFS on GNU/kFreeBSD with the following error:
> g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/include/freetype2-I/usr/include/freetype2 -g -Wall -O2 -fPIC -c -o octplot-FTVectoriser.o `test-f 'FTGL/FTVectoriser.cpp' || echo './'`FTGL/FTVectoriser.cpp

> FTGL/FTVectoriser.cpp: In member function 'voidFTVectoriser::MakeMesh(FTGL_DOUBLE)':

Full build logs are available at
<http://experimental.ftbfs.de/build.php?arch=kfreebsd-i386&pkg=octplot>.

Please find attached a tiny patch to fix this, based on the __GLIBC__ macro
defined on GNU/k*BSD platforms. If upstream finds it not suitable,
__FreeBSD_kernel__ can also be used, although less portable.

Cheers,

Thomas Weber have already submitted the patch to the Patch Tracker (id#1681896).  Sorry for the noise.
