Installation problem with ftgl in macos X

ROOT

Hi there,

I get the following error when trying to compile root v5-21-06:

graf3d/ftgl/src/FTVectoriser.cxx: In member function 'void FTVectoriser::MakeMesh(FTGL_DOUBLE)': graf3d/ftgl/src/FTVectoriser.cxx:186: error: invalid conversion from 'GLvoid (*)()' to 'GLvoid (*)(...)' graf3d/ftgl/src/FTVectoriser.cxx:186: error: initializing argument 3 of 'void gluTessCallback(GLUtesselator*, GLenum, GLvoid (*)(...))' graf3d/ftgl/src/FTVectoriser.cxx:187: error: invalid conversion from 'GLvoid (*)()' to 'GLvoid (*)(...)' graf3d/ftgl/src/FTVectoriser.cxx:187: error: initializing argument 3 of 'void gluTessCallback(GLUtesselator*, GLenum, GLvoid (*)(...))' graf3d/ftgl/src/FTVectoriser.cxx:188: error: invalid conversion from 'GLvoid (*)()' to 'GLvoid (*)(...)' graf3d/ftgl/src/FTVectoriser.cxx:188: error: initializing argument 3 of 'void gluTessCallback(GLUtesselator*, GLenum, GLvoid (*)(...))' graf3d/ftgl/src/FTVectoriser.cxx:189: error: invalid conversion from 'GLvoid (*)()' to 'GLvoid (*)(...)' graf3d/ftgl/src/FTVectoriser.cxx:189: error: initializing argument 3 of 'void gluTessCallback(GLUtesselator*, GLenum, GLvoid (*)(...))' graf3d/ftgl/src/FTVectoriser.cxx:190: error: invalid conversion from 'GLvoid (*)()' to 'GLvoid (*)(...)' graf3d/ftgl/src/FTVectoriser.cxx:190: error: initializing argument 3 of 'void gluTessCallback(GLUtesselator*, GLenum, GLvoid (*)(...))' make: *** [graf3d/ftgl/src/FTVectoriser.o] Error 1

I then tried doing

but still, I see the following at the end of configure:

support for builtin_ftgl is there no matter what I do!

I guess there are two problems here. Any idea?

Which version of Mac OS X (10.4.x)?

well, I just got the latest release and still get the same error. It seems that the compilation flags for this files are wrong or the pre-processor conditionals are wrong. Either way this ends up causing the wrong definition of GLUTesselatorFunction in graf3d/ftgl/src/FTVectoriser.cxx.

It should be:

but it uses the second one:

Using Mac OS 10.4.11 and gcc 4.2.3

Does it work with the official Apple compiler 4.0.1 (build 5490)?

Hi Fons,

Sorry for so many delays (and happy new year). It builds fine with the official compiler, mine is build 5363, but I don’t use that one for all my stuff.

I’ve only access to:

gcc -v: gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5490)

gcc-4.2 -v: gcc version 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5566)

/Developer/usr/bin/llvm-gcc -v: gcc version 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5555) (LLVM build 2056)

gcc-4 -v: gcc version 4.3.2 (GCC) (gcc 4.3 from Fink)

And they all compile this file correctly. Please move to one of these compilers.

Cheers, Fons.
