Hello IO.z and the list,
i updated my GEM sources from CVS, but still no go. I will try to build without gltt, if there is no fix for the problem below... (Hey, thats like a little poem!)
Heres my configure line ./configure --without-mpeg3 --with-quicktime --with-avi --with-ieee1394 --enable-mmx
configure doesnt find ftgl, as I cant build ftgl. There is some error with someting being not defined in FTFace.cpp. I sent an email to Henery Maddock, FTGl creator.
Oh, Henry just got back to me! Heres his message:
Freetype changed some of their symbols and I haven't had a chance to release an update. The fix is as follows...
bool FTFace::Attach( const unsigned char *pBufferBytes, size_t bufferSizeInBytes) { FT_Open_Args open;
open.flags = FT_OPEN_MEMORY; // <<<<< This bit open.memory_base = (FT_Byte *)pBufferBytes; open.memory_size = bufferSizeInBytes; err = FT_Attach_Stream( *ftFace, &open); return !err;}
So that builds now...With the exception if not finding and installing FTLayout.h...
Heres my GEM load error /usr/local/src/Gem/src/Gnu/Gem.pd_linux: /usr/local/src/Gem/src/Gnu/Gem.pd_linux: undefined symbol: _ZN8GLTTFont12setPrecisionEd
I have the latest gltt (2.5.2 installed via rpm, I have FC2t1, could there be a problem if the rpms are built for RH9? I dont know that much about Distro differences)
Thanks for the contiued help! -thewade
PS: thanks Ian for the suguestion about two libglut's. If I gut this able to load, and it still hangs, than that is what Ill try! The Gl that comes with X is proabably better then the one I built anyway...
