[ft] Error when trying to use Freetype library

[Fredrik Karlbom]

Hello,
I'm not sure that this is the proper place to ask but I do it anyway as 
I 
desparately need some help. I'm trying to compile and test Freetype on a 
embedded system, an ARM-processor running ThreadX but my problem is on 
the 
compile-stage. My dev-box is running a cygwin-based shell and after some 
problems I succeded (with the help of this great "story" http://www.
gamedev.
net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=277879 ) compiling freetype2 by 
first 
making a file named 'lib' in the freetype-dir containing:


#!/bin/sh
builds/unix/libtool --mode=finish $@


After making that one I call 'sh configure' and compile with 'make'. 
This 
gives me a nice libfreetype in my objs/.libs/ directory.

After that I follow this tutorial http://freetype.sourceforge.net/
freetype2/
docs/tutorial/step1.html and include the following in my code:


#include <ft2build.h>
#include FT_FREETYPE_H

...

FT_Library  library;
FT_Error error;

...

error = FT_Init_FreeType( &library );
if ( error )
{
  ...
}


I also change the neccisary changes in the makefile and the resulting 
call to 
gcc is (I sorted out some other includes to other libs that I have 
succeded 
to include before adding freetype):


/usr/bin/arm-elf-gcc -o  image.elf ./objs/appconf_api.o ./objs/root.o    
-
mbig-endian -nostartfiles \
 -T ../../../../src/bsp/platforms/CPM4_R01/image.ld ../../../../lib/
arm9/32b/
gnu/bsp/CPM4_R01/reset.o ../../../../lib/arm9/32b/gnu/bsp/CPM4_R01/
memcpy.o 
../../../../lib/32b/gnu/crt0.o \
 -Wl,--start-group ../../../freetype/objs/.libs/libfreetype.a -L ../../
../../
lib/32b/gnu -lc -lgcc -lm -lstdc++  -Wl,--end-group \
 -Wl,-Map,image.map


This returns the following error:


./objs/root.o(.text+0x14c): In function `applicationStart':
/src/apps/testfont/32b/../root.c:199: undefined reference to 
`FT_Init_FreeType' make: *** [image.elf] Error 1


It looks like I havn't succeeded to include freetype properly, but the 
path 
is right. It might also be some error with the #include FT_FREETYPE_H 
not 
resulting in including the right files. I would appreciate some help if 
anyone has any suggestions.

Thanks in advance
Fredrik
