what are the options for the configure ? ("./configure --help") if you can specify the pd-version (with "--with-pdversion=0.41" then you have a recent copy of the "right" cvs)
Yup thats it, avifile: linux:/store/Data # avifile-config --libs -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib -laviplay -laa
what does the Base/configLinux.h look like after the configure-process. there should be a line like "#define HAVE_LIBFTGL 1" (if you want ftgl-support). this define defines another one "FTGL" in TextBase.h which does the actual commenting in/out of the correct code.
Yes the FTGL define is in configLinux.h (and GLTT commented out) Look like FTGL does get set in TextBase.h:
# ifdef HAVE_LIBFTGL # define FTGL
So I'm running out of ideas, can I use GLTT rather than FTGL? I tried ./configure --without-ftgl --with-gltt and the compile goes through, but the gem text examples don't work:
error: GEM: text3d: unable to create polygonal font
Doh! The font path in the example 03.ChangeText.pd file is wrong, it should be [font arial.ttf] not [font ../data/arial.ttf]
So I get text now with gltt. So whats the improvement with ftgl?
