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.
