compiling Gem on OSX 10.4 w/ FTGL from fink - GEM-dev

1 Jun 2007

      Hey all,
Do I'm trying to build Gem on OSX with FTGL, since thanks to Hans fink
provides it.
Seems fink provides a static lib, and no ftlg-config, both of which seem
to be preffered by Gem's configure for FTGL.
How can the configure script be altered to link against a static ftgl?
and do so without ftgl-config.
Or is it possible to get fink to provide a shared lib and ftgl-config? Hans?
Thanks,
.b.

So it looks like it's official, FTGL is now part of Fink.  Now I  
could just use a hand to get Gem to use FTGL in the auto-builds...

Initial Comment:
This library is very useful and very stable.  It's been at version  
2.1.2 since 2004 and doesn't seem to need any fixes.

I compiled this on 10.4, but it should compile fine on 10.3 since

it uses an old .xcode project.

This belongs in the 'graphics' section, since it is similar to

freetype219, and in fact depends on it.

'fink -m --build-as-nobody rebuild' works fine

both the .info and the .deb validate with no problems.

I found a 10.3 machine to test on.  The only change needed was to
accomodate the different build paths for xcode on 10.3 and 10.4
File Added: ftgl.info

Ok, the dependencies should be fixed, as well as a number of other
issues.
as for the dylib, I am following the official debian package as  
closely as
possible, which also only includes the .a, no .so.  It seems that the
author does not provide methods for building dynamic library, and  
users of
FTGL statically link against it.

You say above that the package depends on freetype219, but there's no
BuildDepend on it, leading to:
In file included from
/sw/src/fink.build/ftgl-2.1.2-1/FTGL/src/FTBitmapGlyph.cpp:3:
/sw/src/fink.build/ftgl-2.1.2-1/FTGL/include/FTBitmapGlyph.h:5:22:  
error:
ft2build.h: No such file or directory

The only library I found in this was /sw/lib/libftgl.a .  The project
tends to prefer to have packages build dynamic libraries (.dylib) if
possible.

Added a DescDetail, so I updated the ftgl.info file in the tracker.
Also, I should mention, I have installed this package successfully  
on two
10.4/PowerPC machines and one 10.4/Intel machine.
