Freetype problem

I’m using Debian woody 2.4.22 kernel on a P4 computer.

While trying to install root I’m having some problems with the added freetype library. After doing “configure linuxdeb” The message I get for “make debian” is this: (the message I get for “make” is quite similar, still having the same problem)

I have no idea why this problem occurs and all my attempts at fixing it failed. Has anyone seen this kind of thing before? What can I do to fix/bypass it?

Which version did you import? 3.05/07? 3.10/00?
from CVS? the tar file?
could you do
make distclean
make

Rene Brun

I’ve tried both 3.05/07 and 3.10/00 (tar file) to no avail. Tried “make distclean; make” many times… didn’t work. I even got the freetype2 package installed, but apparently it had nothing to do with it.
I did all the exports according to the INSTALL file, and they’re all fine… but for some reason this one thing doesn’t work.

You may not have an up to date enough make to build freetype 2.1.3. Make sure your make is at least 3.79.1 (do “make -v” to see its version number) and install a newer version if needed.

Cheers, Fons.

PS: don’t do “make debian” since that is only needed to build Debian packages.

Nope, I’m using make 3.80, so it should be fine.
I’m doing “make debian” because I’m running Debian.

Hi,
I tried make debian on my Debian/Woody system and had no problems with freetype compilation. Is there something special about your source tree setup (eg some links)? Can you post your freetype/src/freetype-2.1.3/Makefile if there is correct definition of the TOP_DIR - it looks like the build system detected that the compilation should be done outside of the source tree which is not the case.
Jiri

:cry:
Hi I’m tryng to install Root on my RedHat 9.0 (GNU Make version 3.79.1) and I have the same problem like you.
I downloaded root_v3.05.07.source.tar.gz;
I do “./configure linux” and then gmake.
I tryed to do “make distclean” and then “make” again, but there is always the same problem!!! I report it below.
Have you solve your problem??

Hi,

let me repeat my question. Have you got an extra definition of TOP_DIR in your freetype/src/freetype-2.1.3/Makefile?
My Makefile has just
ifndef TOP_DIR
TOP_DIR := .
endif

If there was another TOP_DIR assignment it would explain the error you get
config.mk:21: /unix-def.mk: No such file or directory
config.mk:22: /unix-cc.mk: No such file or directory
Note the leading slash.
Jiri

(’:cry:’)
the variable is defined like in your file…
I tryed to restart all the installation process and I obtain another error just when I do gmake…
I really don’t know what to do… and I have to continue my analisys…
Where is the problem?

if I let the process end ( I’m doing rpm -ba root.spec) I have always the same error…
I don’t really know how to do

OK I can reproduce the problem but I don’t understand why it happens. I ran configure and make distclean couple of times and I cannot compile freetype anymore. I’ll let you know if I find out why.
Jiri

Hi,

the difference is in the way how configure is invoked.
In my setup first cd builds/unix; is done and configure is run from this dir
*** Building freetype/src/freetype-2.1.3/objs/.libs/libfreetype.a…
make[1]: Entering directory `/data/masik/v3.05/freetype/src/freetype-2.1.3’
cd builds/unix; ./configure --with-pic CC= CFLAGS=“-O2”

In your setup the configure is invoked from another directory and the output files (unix-def.mk etc) are created in wrong place.

cheers
Jiri

I see…
Who does the setup?
have I to specify anything?
I just do:
tar zxvf file from the directory where the file .tar.gz is.
cd root
from the directory root export ROOTSYS=the path to this directory
always from the same directory ./configure linux and gmake.
Thanks…

I don’t really know why, but I did all the commands once again and it works!!!
it just said me

Now I can return to my work.
