Re: [ft-devel] Contribution to freetype

[Parth Wazurkar]

I successfully compiled the example in this way:
$gcc example1.c -I/home/parth/anaconda3/include/freetype2 -L/home/parth/anaconda3/lib -lfreetype -lm

But,

when I run $./a.out font sample-text

for checking output it shows Segmentation fault (core dumped).

Please help.

You are missing an -L flag to specify the directory where libfreetype
is located.
