Re: [ft-devel] freetype2 installation problems in Cygwin

[VMarcano]

Hi, Mr. Suzuki:

Firstly, I have to tell you that I was reading the
C:\cygwin\usr\src\freetype\freetype-2.4.9\docs\INSTALL file, trying to find
out reasons of the problem.
I berified the version of the GNI Make tool installed in my PC, which is:

$ make -version
GNU Make 3.82.90

Then, I removed and reextracted all files and folder of freetype2, from the
tar file; afterwards, I tried to make the library again. Following appears
the ending part of the command output:

$ make
… 
checking if libtool supports shared libraries... yes
checking whether to build shared libraries... yes
checking whether to build static libraries... yes
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating unix-cc.mk
config.status: creating unix-def.mk
config.status: creating freetype-config
config.status: creating freetype2.pc
config.status: creating ftconfig.h
config.status: executing libtool commands

address@hidden /usr/src/freetype/ft2demos-2.4.9

Then, I used the command
$ make install

And  on the screen appeared a long listing, which terminated with:
…
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./builds/unix/ftconfig.h                        \
          /usr/local/include/freetype2/freetype/config/ftconfig.h
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 /usr/src/freetype/freetype-2.4.9/objs/ftmodule.h     
                    
\
          /usr/local/include/freetype2/freetype/config/ftmodule.h
/usr/bin/install -c -m 755 ./builds/unix/freetype-config \
          /usr/local/bin/freetype-config
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./builds/unix/freetype2.m4 \
          /usr/local/share/aclocal/freetype2.m4
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./builds/unix/freetype2.pc \
          /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/freetype2.pc

address@hidden /usr/src/freetype/freetype-2.4.9
$

No error messages nor warnings were appreciated in that listing. However,
when I tried to make the sample programs contained in ftdemos-2.4.9.tar.bz2,
I received the following message:

address@hidden /usr/src/freetype/ft2demos-2.4.9
$ make
Please compile the library before the demo programs!
$

Trying not to give up, I attempted to build some of the demo programs
manually. I achieved to compile and link ftbench.c, by using:
address@hidden /usr/src/freetype/ft2demos-2.4.9/src
$ g++ -O0 -g3 -Wall -c -fmessage-length=0 -MMD -MP -MF"" -c  ftbench.c 
-I/usr/include/freetype2/ 


And …

$ g++ -o ftbench ftbench.o  /usr/lib/libfreetype.dll.a

It was successful. In fact, I showed below the main menu that presents
ftbench at runtime.

address@hidden /usr/src/freetype/ft2demos-2.4.9/src
$ ./ftbench
ftbench: bench some common FreeType paths
-----------------------------------------

Usage: ftbench [options] fontname

options:
   -C : compare with cached version if available
   -c : max iteration count for each test (0 means time limited)
   -f : load flags (hexadecimal)
   -i : first index to start with (default is 0)
   -m : max cache size in KByte (default is 1024)
   -p : preload font file in memory
   -r : render mode (default is FT_RENDER_MODE_NORMAL)
   -s : face size (default is 10)
   -t : max time per bench in seconds (default is 2)
   -b tests : perform chosen tests (default is all)
      a : Load a glyph
      b : Load advance widths
      c : Render a glyph
      d : Get FT_Glyph
      e : Get glyph cbox
      f : Get glyph index
      g : Iterate CMap
      h : Open a new face
      i : Embolden

Nevertheless, when I tried to do the same to others, such as ftstring.c and
ftview.c, which have external references to be solved, I achieved to compile
the source into an object file, but linking process reported the errors
showed below:

$ 

I searched Internet for those errors without good results.

In summary, I don’t know why the tool male looks not to see the linrary
installed, and, on the other hand, how to solve the external references
which avoid to complete the linking process.

I will appreciate any helo.

Regards,

Marcano.
