Hey all,
Here is this thread again.
So once I was all happy with my new CVS binary of Gem, I realized (to my dismay) that of course I compiled without font support.
So remembering the ol Xcode days I found FTGL and freetype and compiled like so:
Freetype: (easy) ./configure make sudo make install
FTGL: (scarry) used the "unix" folder since it was the only one with a makefile. did sudo ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Headers /usr/include/GL so that the makefile found the GL stuff. ./configure --without-x --with-ft-prefix=/usr/local/lib --with-ft-exec-prefix=/usr/local/lib/ --disable-freetypetest --disable-shared --with-gl-lib=/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/ make sudo make install seemed to work, though I did not try compiling the test. I see FTGL includes and binaries. Note this does create static libs.
So GEM can't see the FTGL stuff:
./configure --with-ftgl --with-ftgl-includes=/usr/local/include/ --with-ftgl-libs=/usr/local/lib/
checking for ftgl-config... yes checking for main in -lftgl... no checking for PKG_GLTT_CFLAGS... checking for PKG_GLTT_LIBS...
used optional libraries:
font-rendering :
image-support use ImageMagick : no use TIFF : no use JPEG : no video-support use mpeg : no use mpeg-3 : no use QuickTime : yes (framework) use aviplay : no use ffmpeg : no input-support use v4l : no use ieee1394 : no
misc using ARB-extensions : yes using NV-extensions : no using reg-struct-ret : yes
So I got most of the FTGL stuff from the blender compile howtos, but I'm stuck with forcing gem to see FTGL...
Maybe gem is only looking for dynamic libs not static ones? I'd rather FTGL be linked in static since that way I don't have to make sure FTGL is compiled and working on each machine in the lab...
Thanks all! .b.
