Hello all, and Henry.
I'm trying to get FTGL to work from source. It will not compile becuase it is trying to compile a static library, and is trying to link to libGL.la (which does not exist on my system).
Now Does gem care if FTGL is static or shared?
I have configured FTGL with:
./configure --enable-shared --disable-static
But still FTGL will try and link a libftgl.la. The target in FTGL/unix/src/Makefile is indeed libftgl.la
Here is the compile error (libGL.la not existing)
/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link g++ -o libftgl.la -rpath /usr/local/lib FTBitmapGlyph.lo FTCharmap.lo FTContour.lo FTExtrdGlyph.lo FTFace.lo FTFont.lo FTGLBitmapFont.lo FTGLExtrdFont.lo FTGLOutlineFont.lo FTGLPixmapFont.lo FTGLPolygonFont.lo FTGLTextureFont.lo FTGlyph.lo FTGlyphContainer.lo FTLibrary.lo FTOutlineGlyph.lo FTPixmapGlyph.lo FTPoint.lo FTPolyGlyph.lo FTSize.lo FTTextureGlyph.lo FTVectoriser.lo -lfreetype -lz -lGLU -lGL grep: /usr/lib/libGL.la: No such file or directory /usr/bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib/libGL.la: No such file or directory libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libGL.la' is not a valid libtool archive make[1]: *** [libftgl.la] Error 1
Does FTGL *have* to be static? Does Gem require static or shared?
SUSE was great, it had all the upto date stuff, now my 8.0 is dated and I have to upgrade to get new packages... blech. Now that I actually have a lot of stuff in my linux system is when I need to change/ungrade the damn thing. :(
Thanks Ben
