Description Murray Smigel 2002-04-29 21:19:12 UTC
Compile of xpdf fails in the FTFont.cc file. The error, line 500, is due to using CFF_Font rather 
then CFF_FontReq twice in that line. Since I could not figure out how to edit the file and avoid 
having it clobbered during the emerge, I changed the definition of CFF_Font in 
/usr/include/freetype2/freetype/internal/cff_types.h (line 244), but the actual FTFont.cc package 
should be fixed instead. 
 
Yes, I know that you don't maintain either freetype2 or xpdf, but others will see this problem 
when trying to use your (very nice!!!!) system. 
 
Thanks, 
murray smigel

I have a fix done and committed... Waiting on a test.  Works for me.
Comment 2 Ryan Phillips (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-04-30 03:41:51 UTC
It doesn't compile here... errors out on freetype for some reason.
Comment 3 Mark Fenner 2002-04-30 09:29:39 UTC
 Just another confirmation:  the xpdf build craps out on me as well. 
Comment 4 Mark Fenner 2002-04-30 09:44:16 UTC
 AHA!  Apparently, the files/patch file is not being downloaded on rsync or emerge or whenever it should be done.  
At any rate, it isn't in my portage directory structure.  I have no clue how to fix it though. 
Comment 5 Bryon Roche (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-04-30 09:49:46 UTC
committed the FTFont.cc patch

should work now
Comment 6 Ryan Phillips (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-04-30 10:51:55 UTC
Works fine now
Comment 7 Hanno Böck gentoo-dev 2002-05-22 02:11:17 UTC
For me, xpdf-1.00.ebuild still doesn't compile.
The problem is, there is a xpdf-1.00-r1.ebuild, but it is masked because of a
dependency to freetype.
Which things have to be done to unmask it?
Comment 8 Hanno Böck gentoo-dev 2002-06-10 11:39:42 UTC
There is now xpdf 1.01 and it seems to have no more compile-problems. so
somebody should close this bug.
Comment 9 Bryon Roche (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-06-17 03:25:04 UTC
Well it should have been closed then.:)
