Re: [ft-devel] Problems compiling Freetype

[Novice Programmer]

Hello Werner,

I got thro this one... how i got thro this is a bit interesting... i installed linux on my system and it worked on linux, then i copied the dito environment variables from linux to ming on windows and it worked.. :). But now i have another issue. I have placed libfreetype.a in the /usr/lib. when i compile a test program, i get the following errors.

Program:
#define HAVE_FT2BUILD_H

#ifdef HAVE_FT2BUILD_H
#include <ft2build.h>
#include FT_FREETYPE_H
#include FT_GLYPH_H
#include FT_SIZES_H
#include FT_SFNT_NAMES_H
#include FT_TRUETYPE_IDS_H
#include FT_OUTLINE_H
#else
#include <freetype/freetype.h>
#include <freetype/ftglyph.h>
#include <freetype/ftsizes.h>
#include <freetype/ftsnames.h>
#include <freetype/ttnameid.h>
#include <freetype/ftoutln.h>
#endif

int main()
{
    FT_Library ftlibrary;
    FT_Face face;
    FT_Error error;
    FT_ULong charcode;
    FT_UInt gindex;
    FT_Glyph glyph;
    FT_BBox bbox;
    FT_Matrix matrix;
    FT_UInt i;
    char* name = 0;
    char italic, bold;

    FT_Init_FreeType(&ftlibrary);
    FT_New_Face(ftlibrary, "filename", 0, &face);
    i = face->num_glyphs - 1;
    italic = face->style_flags&FT_STYLE_FLAG_ITALIC;
    bold = face->style_flags&FT_STYLE_FLAG_BOLD;
    FT_Get_Postscript_Name(face);
    FT_Get_Char_Index(face, 33);
    FT_Get_First_Char(face, &i);
    FT_Get_Next_Char(face, 33, &i);
    if(FT_HAS_GLYPH_NAMES(face)) {
    FT_Get_Glyph_Name(face, 33, name, 127);
    }
    FT_Load_Glyph(face, 33, FT_LOAD_NO_BITMAP|FT_LOAD_NO_SCALE);
    FT_Get_Glyph(face->glyph, &glyph);
    FT_Glyph_Get_CBox(glyph, ft_glyph_bbox_unscaled, &bbox);
    FT_Done_Glyph(glyph);
    FT_Done_Face(face);
    FT_Done_FreeType(ftlibrary);
    return 0;
}

Isn't freetype getting linked?

Thanks.

Thanks.  Three things:

 . You haven't sent the `config.log' file (which the configure script
   directly generates).

 . The stdout/stderr log is incomplete; it only shows the linking but
   not the generation of the object files.

 . I've no idea about mingw32, but creation of `libfreetype.dll.a'
   looks strange.  This should be `libfreetype.dll', right?

BTW, please send such big files always compressed since it makes the
mails *much* smaller.
